———: Iron roads in the outback. The legendary Commonwealth Railways. 2017 – 208 pages : illustrations (chiefly colour), colour maps; 29 x 23 cm , ISBN 978-0-9925388-2-8

The Iron Roads of the Australian Outback – the legendary Commonwealth Railways were built through some of the harshest landscapes on Earth. They were railways like no other, where men and women battled extreme temperatures, flash floods and maddening isolation to keep the trains running. This publication is the culmination of 25 years of Outback exploration, research, photography and interviews by author Nick Anchen. The result is a diverse book which brings to life both the beauty and harshness of the Australian Outback, through a collection of fascinating and historic images, along with the memories of former Commonwealth Railways employees. Following an introductory chapter on the vastness and grandeur of the Australian interior – highlighted by the memoirs of 1950s flying doctor Macarthur Job – the book delves into the story of the Central Australia Railway. This was the line built through the „back of beyond“ – the forbidding desert country of South Australia and the Northern Territory. It was here that operators of famous trains such as The Ghan battled searing heat, dust storms and raging floodwaters to keep the trains running. The chapter includes stories by well known Ghan conductor „Aspro“ Lyons, and „Piano Playing Chef“ Paddy Greenfield – along with enginemen Wolf Markowski and John Theel, both of whom worked trains on this famous railway. The story of the North Australia Railway – „The Line to Nowhere“ – is the tale of a ramshackle railway which came alive during the dark days of World War II. The memoirs of wartime engineman Jim Prentice are eye opening, as are the hair raising accounts of surviving Tropical Cyclone Tracy, as told by rolling stock foreman Bill Donaldson. The Trans-Australian Railway was built across one of the harshest and loneliest environments on Earth – the vast Nullarbor Plain. Stories from enginemen Jack Slattery and Ron Howrie, along with Nullarbor resident and roadmaster’s wife Cathy Beek, tell not only of the rudimentary living conditions and maddening isolation, but of the great camaraderie amongst the railway people who kept trains such as the Trans-Australian and the Tea and Sugar running. As well as examining the ruins and relics from the long-closed CR narrow gauge lines, the book also includes a chapter on the much-loved Pichi Richi Railway – the last surviving portion of that great Transcontinental Railway dream from another age.

Nestled in the shadows of the Victorian Alps, the majestic Ovens and King River valleys first attracted prospectors during the 1850s gold rush. When the railway age arrived in the north east, iron roads were pushed through to the townships of Beechworth, Yackandandah, Bright and Whitfield. This book is the story of these fascinating railways, built to serve isolated settlements in the days of the horse and cart.

The Right Way, the Wrong Way and the Railway takes a real „warts and all“ look at the Victorian Railways. Eight years in the making, this book abounds in history, humour, railway stuff-ups and the typical stupidity which often went with The Job. From the mysteries of safeworking to suburban shenanigans, from close shaves to the downright bizarre, this book has it all – right across the state – from the 1920s through to the 1980s. From the memories of 50 railwaymen and women, this book is „The Good, The Bad and The Ugly“ of the VR!

Barnett, David M.: Life on Australian Locomotives, Australia: Rosenberg Publishing . 2015 – 208 , ISBN 978-1-925078-52-7

What was it like to drive a steam locomotive? This book shares the ups and downs, mishaps and triumphs, of life on the footplate. In the 1960s, author David Barnett worked as an engineman / fireman on the footplates of locomotives in Western Victoria, Australia, at a time when bumper wheat harvests saw trains carrying tons of grain through Ararat, Victoria for shipping overseas. A variety of locomotives were in use during this time. The book reveals how some performed magnificently, while others were sluggish and recalcitrant, requiring every ounce of skill and perseverance of the engineman to keep the wheels turning. A limited number of passenger trains also saw steam haulage. The drama and adventure of running these engines is described in graphic and gritty detail by one whose task was keeping the water boiling and the steam gauge needle on the mark. All this is set against a background of thudding air compressors, chime whistles, and staccato exhausts, as well as the occasional whine of a diesel electric’s dynamic brake, making this a truly exhilarating picture of Life on Australian Locomotives.

„Edward Loughry was only twenty-four when the Baldwin Locomotive Works sent their young engineer across half the world to bring a cargo of four little steam engines and six double deck carriages to Sydney. He sailed aboard SS Dryad from New York harbour on 15 May 1879 and reached Sydney on September 3…. The ‚Americanisation‘ of Sydney, according to some observers, dated from Loughry’s arrival with the Baldwin trains.“ ’from American Steam on Australian RailsRailways, according to the history books, were a British invention, and as a result, English companies were quick to capture a huge part of the world market. So how did American steam locomotives come to play a major role in rail transportation in 19th-century Australia, then a British colony? In American Steam on Australian Rails, David Burke tells the fascinating story of Yankee ingenuity and the companies that challenged an English monopoly. While purchasers of equipment for Australian lines argued about the virtues and failings of the American machine, most had to admit that the engines made for the Wild West worked equally well riding the curves, grades, and light rails of outback Queensland, Victoria, and New South Wales. Burke provides copious descriptions of the locomotives themselves, from early models with ornate domes, long cowcatchers, and wooden cabs, right through to the trim 59 class 2-8-2 imported from Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton by New South Wales in the twilight of steam. Lavishly illustrates with color and black-and-white photos and illustrations, American Steam on Australian Rails documents the progress of hundreds of Yankee engines across the vastness of a new continent as they became part of a grand Australian railroad adventure.

Rails Across Australia is an album of photographs taken by David Cable, a well-regarded British author of several albums of train pictures throughout the world. The photos were taken initially during the period between 1967 and 1973 when David lived in Adelaide, and then during several visits around the Commonwealth during the twenty-first century.The photos cover a wide variety of trains in the mainland states, from Queensland to the Pilbara region of Western Australia, and include pictures showing trains in the landscapes, as well as close-up photos of locomotives for the modelling enthusiasts. The well-known problems of different gauges originally established in the various states are illustrated by the individual classes designed for them, in addition to the newest designs for the standard gauge tracks now linking them.

Carter, Mark: Australian Railways, Place of publication not identified: Amberley Publishing Local . 2019 – 96 p. : ill. , ISBN 978-1-4456-8370-6

Australia’s railways are as diverse and fascinating as the country itself, providing as they do a fascinating array of operations, type, and gauges relative to its small population base. Much of Australia’s railway action takes place along its populated coastal strips, around the major coal-producing areas and on the corridors linking its major state capitals. In the major cities conventional suburban electric trains packed with commuters mingle with mile long freight trains. These contrast starkly with the giant iron ore trains operating in the remote Western Australian outback — the heaviest and longest trains in the world that serve the remote iron ore mines of Western Australia. At the other end of the spectrum a vast network of dinky 2-foot gauge railways moves up to 30 million tonnes a year of sugar cane to the mills. Despite the sparse population of the outback, rail lines cross the continent from north to south and from east to west with stainless steel streamlined passenger trains still providing long-distance tourist services such as The Ghan and The Indian Pacific.

This book describes the diesel and electric locomotives used on the main line and export mineral railways in Australia, as well as the preserved steam locomotives used on preserved lines and on main lines. The diesel locomotives are listed according to the type of diesel engine and arranged to show the development of a particular type of locomotive, with entries progressing from lower power to higher power units. This layout shows the similarity of types used on different systems, particularly in the area of Australia’s state government railways. The electric locomotives are grouped by system in chronological order and steam locomotives are organized by wheel arrangement, since this brings together similar locomotives from different systems. The book’s illustrations show the distinctive features of the locomotives for ease of identification. „Superbly illustrates with a color photograph of each locomotive… ‚An Australian Locomotive Guide‘, is an especially recommended addition to academic, community and personal Railroading Studies reference collections.“ The Midwest Book Review, Wisconsin Bookwatch, The Railroading Shelf, July 2013.

Dennis, Anthony / Bird, Ross: Ribbons of Steel. Riding the Indian-Pacific, North Sydney: Allen & Unwin . 1991 – 144 p., ISBN 978-1-86373-059-4

On the eve of the 21st anniversary of one of the world’s great train journeys, writer Anthony Dennis and photographer Ross Bird boarded the Indian Pacific at Sydney’s Central Station. Along its 4,348 kilometre ribbons of steel to Perth, they met not only passengers (including the taciturn Incredible Hulk on steroids who could barely fit inside the train), but the battalion of workers, on and off the rails, who ensure the Indian Pacific’s progress. By the end of their vibrant and amusing pilgrimage between two great seaboards they had also encountered „Snakeman“, the Indian Pacific driver who photographs dangerous reptiles on the Nullarbor on his days off; the millionaire Perth car dealer who has caught the train more often than any other paying passenger; the Royal Flying Doctors who decline to remove the corpses of passengers who have expired in the desert to civilisation; and a far-flung golf course with the world’s biggest bunker. „Ribbons of steel“ is more than a book about an extraordinary train; it is an entertaining and off-beat account of a portable slice of Australiana which remains etched in the national psyche. The book explores the history of the train and paints a picture of the remarkable landscapes it passes through. (Amazon).

Ron Fitch was born in 1910 into a railway family. He began his career as a 16-year-old engineering cadet and completed it 46 years later, having worked at various times for two state railways and the Commonwealth, as Commissioner of South Australian Railways. In this book Fitch gives a vivid account not only of his career but of the camaraderie of the greater railway community, often experienced in the most trying of conditions. Fitch also writes about the advances in line-building techniques, derailments, floods and washaways, wrangles over attempts to implement standard gauge, and the politics of railways. Fitch is uniquely placed to write a book for all train enthusiasts, in which he celebrates both the men and the machinery, the toil, and the technology that opened up a vast and sparsely populated continent. Retirement has not dulled his spirit or his interest in railways. In 2002, at 92 years of age, he earned recognition from Guinness Book World Records when his thesis on South Australian railways made him the World’s oldest recipient of a PhD.

Raised in the milieu of the great English pioneer railway engineers, George and Robert Stephenson, John Whitton conquered the Great Dividing Range in the 1860s, building transmontane lines by hand, laying them with rails of iron and with bridges of stone, before the use of dynamite and in some of the most remote and inhospitable terrain. This book is the story of John Whitton’s life and work. Like many in his profession, his origins were humble. His is a very Victorian story of social and material advancement through talent, will and mastery of production techniques. His achievement was such that, alone among engineers in Australia, he acquired an international reputation for his genius and his extraordinary achievements. – Few engineers have had so enormous or so lasting an impact as John Whitton; in many respects his railways determined patterns of settlement and development in New South Wales. He was responsible for the building of 2131 miles (3431 km) of railway and in the process traversed terrain about as challenging as any railway engineer ever encountered. His most arduous tasks were undertaken early in his career, when railway technology was far from mature and involved pioneering techniques such as the use of zigzags to ascend mountains. John Whitton built his railways on limited budgets and sometimes in the face of powerful opposition, which believed that the colony could not afford railways at all. Few engineers have had so enormous or so lasting an impact as John Whitton; in many respects his railways determined patterns of settlement and development in New South Wales. He was responsible for the building of 2131 miles (3431 km) of railway. This book is the story of John Whitton’s life and work.

Victoria was the first Australian colony to open a steam railway, in 1854, and for the rest of the nineteenth century it remained the continent’s most advanced and intensive railway. Melbourne was Australia’s first city to have surburban railways, which were also the first to be electrified, beginning in 1919. This book tells the story of the early railways opened in the wake of the gold rushes to Ballarat and Bendigo, extravagantly engineered as none ever would be in the future. It then moves on to examine the role of railways in the development of the colony during the nineteenth century, when railway policy often dominated political discourse. Railway history both reflected and made Victorian history as a whole, especially during the boom and bust of the 1880s and 1890s. During the Clapp era of the 1920s and 1930s Victorian Railways projected an aura of sophistication and style, whereas after World War II there was a constant challenge and readjustment, as other transport modes became dominant. This culminated in a long crisis through the last decades of the twentieth century, out of which emerged a railway system radically restructured in almost every way. The colourful characters, political intrigues and enormous social impact of Victoria’s railways, as well as their constantly changing and fascinating technology, are major themes of this book.

„This excellent book is one of a series dealing with different aspects of the history of the New South Wales Public Works Department. Well researched, fully annotated and interestingly written, it deals with the history of the Sydney Railway Co from 1848 to its takeover in 1855 by the NSW Government and subsequent operation and expansion under the control of the PWD to 1889, from which date operation came under the control of three commissioners. Although it will appeal to all serious railway enthusiasts, its interest will be greater for those who know NSW, for it is a tale of political interference, intrigue, internecine squabbling, ineptitude, bribery and corruption. Yet, at the same time the railway system increased from 14 to 2398 miles, well- engineered and opening up vast areas of the colony for development. Of greatest interest to the enthusiast is the background to the debate over the relative merits of British and American locomotives and rolling stock (the private diaries of Beyer, Peacock’s Sydney agent providing an enlightening account of local personalities and business ‚practices‘). In the event British locomotives won the day, and if longevity is a judge, rightly so. American rolling stock practice, however, was reflected in the increasing use of bogie coaches and open-platform saloon vehicles for suburban use and of sleepers. The chaotic locomotive policy is best illustrated by the appendix showing that by 1889 there were nearly 500 locomotives of 39 classes, of which only six had more than 20 members. They ranged from the original LNWR-style 0-4-2s of 1853, through 2-2-2s, 0-6-0s, 4-4-0s, 2-6-0s (to name but a few) to Baldwin-built 2-8-0s. The text of the book is suitably complemented by well- reproduced period photographs and drawings.“ (CRJ 79, Autumn 1989, p. 180) Includes index – Ill. and maps on lining papers – Bibliography: p. 179-180.“

The New South Wales 44 class locomotives were one of the first locomotives built by A. E. Goodwin in the Alco tradition. One-hundred of these DL500B units were built. Introduced in 1957, these locomotives have served every part of NSW, from services in the North and South, to the Indian Pacific. These units are very similar to the South Australian Railways 930 class. They have Alco 251 engines, which develop 1,450 kW (1,940 hp). This class had driving cabs at both ends. The front had a rounded nose (however not as round as the Clyde / GM „Bulldog nose“ type) and a flat nose at the end on the locomotive. Most of the class were withdrawn in 1994, but many have been retained for further use by many other freight companies, and some have been preserved.

The New South Wales 40 class were one of the first mainline diesel electric locomotives to be built for New South Wales. Built by the Montreal Locomotive Works of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, they were based on the ALCO RSC-3 design.There were subtle deviations from the standard RSC-3 built by the American Locomotive Company. These included a cab that angled inwards below the cab windows to reduce the width of the locomotive at the eaves of the cab roof, and placement of the handrails on the car body rather than the standard walkway arrangement. The last unit in service was 4015, it being withdrawn on 12 December, 1971. Some locomotives of this class had parts recycled in to the new build 442 class locomotives. – The 41 class is a class of diesel locomotive ordered by the New South Wales Government Railways in Australia. An order was placed for ten 1,000 horsepower (750 kW) locomotives with Australian General Electric Pty. Ltd. in 1950. The contract was then sent to British Thomson-Houston in the UK. Locomotive 4101 was delivered later than 4102 (4102 was delivered 13 October 1953). The last member of the class, 4110 was delivered in February 1955. The Paxman 12-RPHL engine proved unsuccessful due to low cooling water capacity-similar problems existed on the British Rail (BR) locomotive classes 15 and 16 . The excitation system was not allowing the two motors to share the same load-also the cooling system layout did not allow multiple locomotives to work due to the radiator heat passing from the leading 41 class loco to the trailing locos. Modifications were carried out in 1955 – 1956 to make the radiators extend forward, blank off the side off exit panels and duct the hot air out through the headlight, and mufflers were modified on 4102 and 4104 in 1958. This included relocating the mufflers to over the normal roofline-this was successful, but 4101, 4103, 4105-4110 was not modified. 4110 was the last loco to wear the green colour scheme on a diesel loco, before been repainted Tuscan Red in August 1970. The railways administration had run out of patience with the class by around the 1960s and some of the locos were put aside. 4102 was the last loco in service, been withdrawn in June 1975 after seizing a piston in the „A“ engine, and had travelled 492,650 km-the most used out of the class. Then 4102 was donated from the then New South Wales Public Transport Commission (PTC) to the New South Wales Rail Transport Museum on the 31st December 1976. The lead unit of the class, the 4001 has been preserved in the New South Wales Rail Transport Museum, Thirlmere, New South Wales. 4001 returned to Service in September 2010. It is the only operating RSC-3 in the world.Two locomotives, 4002 and 4006 were sold to Robe River Mining, and modified to a Bo-Bo configuration by removing the centre idler axle from each truck. Both have been preserved, with one being converted back to an A1A-A1A.

The 53 & 55 class are a class of 2-8-0 steam locomotives built for and operated by the New South Wales Government Railways of Australia. The 53 class of locomotive was designed by the New South Wales Government Railways as a modification of the earlier T(524)-class, after 1924 classified 50-class. All the coupled wheels had flanges and a certain amount of side movement was given to the middle pairs with a laterally operating knuckle joint being provided in the middle section of the coupling rods. The Clyde Engineering Company delivered the first locomotive in April, 1912 and, by November, 1917, a total of 190 were in service, 160 from Clyde and 30 from the NSWGR Eveleigh Workshops. Most were fitted with superheaters when built and some fitted at a later date. The superheaters caused some initial difficulties, giving the class a bad name. There was also a problem with the locomotives being unbalanced, causing speed restrictions to be imposed to avoid rough riding and track damage. Following further investigations, 24 of the class were re-balanced and these were permitted to operate at a faster speed which made them useful on Wollongong suburban passenger services. When introduced, most of the class were fitted with a standard bogie tender, similar as those attached to the 50-class, although some saw service with Wampu tenders. In the later period of their lives, the majority were fitted with larger turret type tenders. To enable tender first running, many had automatic couplers fitted to the front. Following the removal of the knuckle joints from the coupling rods, flanges from the second coupled and driving wheels and the fitting of boilers standard for 50-class; 53-class and 55-class, they became most useful locomotives. Many were in service right to the end of the steam era, four surviving to the very last day. The then Commonwealth Railways used the design of these locomotives for their KA-class for the Trans-Australian Railway – The 55 cass – A contract was given in 1916 to Clyde Engineering Company of Granville for the construction of 300 K-class locomotives. Following experiments with Southern type valve gear on an earlier class, Edward Lucy, the Chief Mechanical Engineer of the N.S.W.G.R., proposed its installation on these locomotives. The use of Southern valve gear was rare on locomotives operating outside the United States of America. The first of the class, then classified as K1353, entered traffic on 29 November, 1918. Due to financial difficulties at Clyde Engineering, the next member did not appear for a further two years. Meanwhile, the contract had been reduced to just 120 locomotives. All were in service by March, 1925 and were fitted with a Wampu type tender. The last thirty of the class were fitted with self-cleaning smokeboxes and had other modifications. The members of this class spent most of their days attached to depots at Enfield, Goulburn, Harden, Junee and Cowra. They were seldom used on western or northern lines. With the discontent and industrial action in the coalfields following World War II, it was decided in 1946 to convert some of the class to oil burners. The 55-class was chosen as the outside valve gear gave more room for the installation of the new equipment, which included altered firebox and smokebox. The tenders were fitted with a 2,400-imperial-gallon (11,000 l; 2,900 US gal) fuel tank. The fuel oil was injected into the firebox by a jet of steam from the locomotive boiler, the flow being controlled by the fireman. The first six locomotives converted were fitted to burn distillate which was five times the cost of coal firing, although it was hoped that reduced servicing times would offset some of that extra cost. When cheaper crude oil became available, the locomotives were again modified to allow them to burn this heavier product. This required the installation of heating coils in the tank and pre-heating adjacent to the burner to ensure […]

Locomotive Club of Great Britain: Australian Shedbook: . ca. 1989 – 44 pages : 21 x 14.5 cm; paper cover

„This booklet, in the usual LCGB shedbook style, lists all existing motive power-diesel and electric locomotives, multiple-units and railcars-of the Government- and State-owned railways in Australia (ie all the principal systems). For each class the axle-arrangement, building years and power rating are quoted, and there is a full list of running numbers with shed allocation (where applicable) for each unit. As a bonus, the booklet includes withdrawn, sold and preserved diesel and electric locomotives and units which are still in existence. Information is correct to the latter part of 1988. This is a very useful basic guide to present-day Australian motive power.“ (CRJ 80, Winter 1989/90, p. 227-228).

Australia’s Railway Crossroads: Amberley Publishing . 2019 – 96 p. , ISBN 978-1-4456-8370-6

Australia’s railways are as diverse and fascinating as the country itself, providing as they do a fascinating array of operations, type, and gauges relative to its small population base. Much of Australia’s railway action takes place along its populated coastal strips, around the major coal-producing areas and on the corridors linking its major state capitals. In the major cities conventional suburban electric trains packed with commuters mingle with mile long freight trains. These contrast starkly with the giant iron ore trains operating in the remote Western Australian outback; the heaviest and longest trains in the world that serve the remote iron ore mines of Western Australia. At the other end of the spectrum a vast network of dinky 2-foot gauge railways moves up to 30 million tonnes a year of sugar cane to the mills. Despite the sparse population of the outback, rail lines cross the continent from north to south and from east to west with stainless steel streamlined passenger trains still providing long-distance tourist services such as The Ghan and The Indian Pacific.

Preserved Locomotives of Australia and New Zealand: Locomotive Club of Great Britain . 1989? – 60 pages : 21 x14.5 cm, paper cover

„The original limited edition of this publication was produced prior to the LCGB’s tour of Australia and New Zealand in 1988. That tour provided much additional information, and this second revised edition is the result. It lists, by alphabetical order of location within States (North and South Islands for New Zealand), all known preserved locomotives, railcars and tramcars. For each item there is quoted – so far as information is available – its gauge, last owner, number, name if applicable, wheel arrangement, builder, works number and year of construction. The vast number of motive power units preserved and the wide variety of their locations – particularly the static examples – will come as an eye-opener to anyone not familiar with the Australian scene. The LCGB is to be congratulated on producing another much-needed publication.“ (CRJ 80, Winter 1989/90, p. 227-228).

The Australian Standard Garratt. The engine that brought down a government: Manchester University Press . 2012 – 36 p.

This paper concerns three significant aspects of twentieth century history in both Australia and Britain: trade unions, railways and war. During the world wars trade unionists in both countries worked under poor conditions, and sometimes endured loss of hard-won privileges in order to further the war effort, and in the hope that governments and employers would acknowledge their sacrifices and redress their grievances once peace was restored. The paper discusses two instances, one in Western Australia and one in Britain, where these grievances were not addressed after the War, and examines the different outcomes. After comparing the circumstances in which the Australian Standard Garratt and the WD ‘Austerity’ heavy freight locomotives were produced, it explores the problems with these engines and the outcomes arising from union grievances. Finally, the paper posits that studying the outcomes of these industrial disputes on the railways, arising out of wartime conditions, furthers our understanding of the stresses of war on society. – Online: https://espace.curtin.edu.au/bitstream/handle/20.500.11937/30275/189408_189408.pdf?sequence=2&isAllowed=y – Also published: The Journal of Transport History. 33 (2012) 1 : pp. 21-41.
