More Railway Maintenance Vehicles

Yesterday I posted a couple of photos of railway maintenance vehicles from NSW and here are two more.

Rail maintenance vehicle at Cootamundra

This is a photo that I must have looked at hundreds of times over the years and I thought it was one I had taken at the down end of Bathurst yard … I must admit I hadn’t looked too closely at what was on the other side of the tracks or I would have realised that it was nothing like Bathurst.

When I pulled it out of the album to scan it I found that it was actually taken at Cootamundra on the 5th of January 1991 and if the handwriting on the back of the photo is anything to go by it was taken by Lawrence Ryan … not me.

Well moving right along … here’s another maintenance vehicle and this one I knew was taken by Lawrence.

Sperry Rail Service vehicle SRS141 at Clyde

The photo is undated but it was taken in the yard at Clyde. You’ll notice a rail-mounted bus tucked in behind SRS141. While the photo was undated it was probably taken somewhere between 1990 and 1994.
