Don't forget also that the ARHS has commissioned the Quail Map Company in the UK to
produce at atlas of Australian railway lines. I'm not sure of the publishing date;
AFAIK it may be later this year (why couldn't they have got an *Australian*
cartographic company to do this?).
Associated with this, lists of opening/closing dates for railway lines (by state),
as well as general news on the project, have been provided in "Bulletin",
periodically since late 1995. IIRC, the complete list will then be published by the
NSW division of the ARHS.
