Today was a very special occasion as we were being shown the restored signal box that was destroyed in the arson attack of May, 2003. We are very proud of our 120 year old heritage listed railway station. The Belair Railway Station is in the Adelaide foothills, 20 minutes by train from Adelaide, and on the main interstate railway line from Adelaide to Melbourne.
Here is a photo of a typical inter-state goods train that passes through this station every few hours. These trains are usually 1.5 kilometres long and have 3 engines. Today was a typical day and I though you may like to see the first engine of the train as it passed through this station on the way to Melbourne.
The steam engine I blipped on October 27th used to pass through this station on weekends till they removed the broad gauge line.

Finally it was on to the Belair National Park and this Raven would have been my blip of the day till he was pipped at the post by the Noisy Miner bird.
