Hi Prop Wash. Thanks. The line went from Sydney, New South Wales, to Brisbane, Queensland. The two states used different rail gauges. NSW used 4'8.5" and 3'6" for QLD. Just 8km north of the bridge, passengers had to change trains at Wallangarra...
I like it! Upkeep on it must have been costly with it being wood. Do you know if they stopped using the railway in that area altogether or did re-route it with modern building materials?
Nice video of this old structure. Looking at the timber work it looks inadequate to be able to take the weight of a train but obviously it used to be. You live in a beautiful part of the country. Thanks for sharing
