68. Murray River at Mildura, Victoria, 1948

from Royal Australian Historical Society

• chy_gwel_an_meneth said:

  This is not at Mildura. (no railway crossed the river at Mildura). It is the approaches to Paringa Bridge, carrying the Sturt Higway, just east of Renmark, S.A. The railway went to Barmera. The railway across the bridge was flanked by a roadway on each side. The railway closed in 1984 and its path converted to foot traffic. the bridge still stands. (May, 2020)

from The Library of Congress

  Great Northern Railway www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1272318

• swanq said:

  See www.gnflyer.com/1924original.html The data sheet describes the Oriental Limited which was placed in service June 1, 1924 and operated until March 31, 1931. It was hailed by Great Northern as "An Aristocrat of the Rails." Beneath a copy of this photo, a caption reads, "Prior to the start of service the New Oriental Limited was displayed with the Wm Crooks and two vintage passenger cars." The train was displayed in Chicago and the other cities served, St. Paul, Spokane, Portland and Seattle. This photo is in Chicago; there is a noticeboard visible just to the right of the older train behind, reading "Chicago Great Western Freight Station. "The engine on the new train is GN Mountain 2527.
