Steam at the Carnival of Flowers
Toni and I spent most of Saturday visiting a new client – a local historical museum – out west and on the way back we stopped for a break at Biggenden where I took some photos of the railway station there.
Those photos are still sitting in the camera so I though I’d start the week with this video taken at the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers which was on last weekend too. My thanks to Graham R for putting it up on YouTube.
The steam loco is 1079 and there’s some great stack-talk as she gets stuck into the task of hauling the train. Fortunately 1620 – Queensland’s first Heritage Diesel is there too and if you’ve never heard and English Electric diesel in action then you’ll find this video interesting too.
