Have a look at echo.net.au

A great no of state federal local pollies attached themselves to the opening

Rereading it appears built by local council with some funding state and feds perhaps

It’s sad the trains don’t run anymore but this the next best use

Great flick. Shame about the L class locos not turning a wheel in anger before being scrapped. The SAR bought some of them as well they became the 740 class.Heres hoping that the next instalment will cover some narrow gauge action with the NSU's ,which as a side note all still exist,and the NT class which I believe may have been the last class of diesels to run through the Pichi Richi Pass before closure. Obviously one runs the line now in preservation.
