RailPage is an experimental railfan information service. It is intended to
provide information about forthcoming railfan tours and events in Australia
and New Zealand. Like railway magazines, it relies on reader input.
The list is maintained by David Bromage <bro...@ccds.cc.monash.edu.au>.
Contributions from readers are welcome by email or fax (03) 565 4597.
Prices quoted are in Australian currency. Where three prices are shown,
they are for adults/seniors/children. Where two prices are shown, they are
for adults/children.
If you wish to submit an item, please include the following information:
Organiser (e.g. Australian Railway Historical Society - <state> Division)
Destination and route (e.g. Melbourne to Echuca via Seymour, returning
via Bendigo)
Motive power (e.g. 3642 and 3801)
Any special occasion (e.g. Woop Woop Centenary, last train to ______)
Any special operations (e.g. double heading, parallel running, photostops)
Fares, including any meals available
Address/telephone/fax/email contact for more information
How to book. (e.g. mail, phone, fax, BASS, Austickets, buy tickets on the
platform prior to departure, buy tickets at ______ station(s) )
Include as much information as possible in as little space as possible.
As much advance notice of upcoming trips as possible is desired so that
people can plan interstate or overseas trips well in advance. If you know
of a trip planned a number of months ahead, but details such as fares and
timetable are not yet available, then simply the date and destination will
sufficient. Details can be added as they become available.
Note: Operations on the Michelago line and Yass tramway will be included
in the ACT file. Also NSW operations to the ACT will and those originating
in the ACT to NSW will be included in both the ACT and NSW files.
RailPage will be available by the following methods:
1) Periodic postings to aus.rail, rec.railroad and fj.rec.rail
2) By anonymous ftp from giaeb.cc.monash.edu.au [130.194.208.4].
Look in the directory /pub/trains/RailPage for the latest copy.
The files are known as vicxxx, nswxxx, qldxxx, saxxx, waxxx, tasxxx,
actxxx, nzxxx where xxx is a number. vic001 was the first to be uploaded.
Remember, for this service to be successful it needs _your_ input.
Cheers
