Railway Links

These are links to other railway sites who have used my photos, or refer to them in one way or another. If you want to swap links, please just drop me an email with your link, and what it is that you have linked to, and I'll add it to this page.

From time to time I check these links, and remove them if the site is not accessible. Drop me a line if your site moves, and I'll keep the list up-to-date. When I remember, I timestamp the relevant entry.

Workshops Rail Museum

Katrina Stark, the Marketing Officer for the workshops rail museum in Ipswich wrote saying:

The Workshops Rail Museum is a campus of the Queensland Museum located in Ipswich in South East Queensland. The Museum celebrates the story of rail in Queensland and attracts thousands of visitors a year including schools, families and intrastate, interstate and international tourists, many of whom access the Museum's website prior to visiting.

We are creating a new webpage on The Workshops Rail Museum's website called "Rail Links" which will list Queensland, Australian and International tourist railways, railway museums and railway associations (please visit http://www.theworkshops.qm.qld.gov.au/organisation/rail_links.asp to see this page).

We would like to seek your permission to list your organisation and include a direct link to your website.

Katrina, it is done!
