What's New at TumbaRail
With much hard work from our dedicated members,
TumbaRail will be commencing extended operations as of November 9, 2002. Previously,
we have operated from within the Ladysmith station yard, but have now extended
operations through to Kyeamba Creek bridge. The new distance from end to end is
now some 1.8km in length. Hence, the travel distance is 3.6km and takes approximately
20 minutes to complete. It is anticipated that two trikes will be operated to
cope with demand and travel time. Included in this travel time, is a stop over
to view the gang shed within the yard, whilst waiting for the second trike to
return from the western end of the line.
The left photo shows the 'monument', approximately 1 km up from the Ladysmith station. The silos in the distance
are approximately 500m on the up side of the station, which is at the extreme
right of the photo.
The right photo is taken from the stop
block at the Kyeamba Creek bridge, some 1.4km from the Ladysmith station. The
silos are visible in the distance.
