  • This is our mighty Heavy Harry, the largest locomotive built in Australia. He was built in 1941 at Newport Workshops and was put to work on Victoria's North East Line from Melbourne to Albury. Retired in 1956 due to worn condition. He's now at our Newport Railway Museum.

    Being in between Chicago and Omaha, all the major Western US railroads had lines within about 100 miles either north or south of me, but UP is the only name that hasn't changed (and BNSF is the only other 'legacy' Class I line that can trace back to before 1970).

    My suburb or other suburbs have railway lines that can connect to various parts of the state of Victoria. The tracks are mainly used my passenger or freight operators under different companies such as V-Line from 1983, Metro from 2009 and Pacific National from 2002. This is due to Victorian Railways dissolving in 1983 as they covered the whole Victorian rail network. (They started in 1859)

    Other states also had their own government owned railways too, such as New South Wales Government Railways, South Australian Railways and Western Australian Government Railways.
    This is E236, my all time favorite train. He was built in 1893 in Melbourne (my city) for use on their passenger network. Taken off passenger roster in 1920 and retired altogether in 1953, he has sat in my local train museum. I remember seeing him for the first time in person and falling in love. I affectionally call him "Mr 236.'

    I've only gotten on train a few times. Most of them was in Qatar, when I wanted to take a walk around using the Metro Rails. Other than that was the Indonesian train, KAI (dunno which model).

    I have rode on many metropolitan trains in the past, from the rare occasion of riding the trains in the city, to even using Japan's trains as our main transport when I was on holiday there! (We used them almost everyday! I also rode a train in Thailand. Below is a pic of one of the Japanese trains I rode, the AE class.
