Rob Lunn long gone,rail long gone,last mine up there was charming creek,think it closed about 1986?

Kevin Lawrie
this is just below top mine bins heading up to rail head,was 4 tracks in the small yard ,they shunted the wagons around and train went foward with the gaurds van at the rear.was working there when last of steam came up.then we had double end diesels the diesels could not push the wagons into our siding,had to pull them with the 4x4 truck many memories.
