Even More Railway Maintenance Vehicles
It’s a Sunday in 1968 or 1969 and we’re standing on the road bridge that spans the railway cutting between Berala and Regents Park. The line is closed for track maintenance and there’s a perway gang had at work.
This interesting piece of machinery and the men around it were just some of the team that was working between Berala and Regents Park that day.
I’m not quite sure what the machine did but it sure did make a lot of noise
I came across the same machine a few years later stowed in a siding at Yerrinbool but there was too much shade to get a decent photograph that day.

G’day Stuart,
Pleased to see updates on your site once more! I spoke to a mate of mine who has been involved in track maintenance, and he gave me the following reply:
“That machine is called a Kershaw its a very ancient Regulator although back then it was state of the art machine.”
Great looking photos, it’s amazing to see them compared to today!
Regards,
Trent
