	Queensland - LoveToKnow 1911
		Queensland waters are not at present infested by any species of alligator, though in times past one of large size was a scourge on the borders of the then inland sea.
		The population of Queensland in 1905 was estimated at 528,048-290,206 males and 237,842 females, the density of population per sq.
		An act was passed granting powers to a company to construct a railway from the rich mining district of Chillagoe to the terminus of the Cairns railway at Mareeba; at the end of fifty years the State was to have the right to acquire the line.

	Western Line
		The line was built to open the country up to settlement and bring the rich bounty of wool and livestock to the coast.
		The line continues in a northwest direction until it reaches Chinchilla (1878, 325km) where it continues in a generally western direction to Miles (1878, 370km), which is the junction station for the Wandoan Branch to the north.
		From Miles the line continues across the western downs to Roma (1880, 511km) a large farming and administrative centre, there are five crossing loops on the section and several grain silos.

	::: Southern Downs Steam Railway - Historical information :::
		Thence the line has been surveyed on a falling contour of 1 in 66 the eastern slopes of the Main and Liverpool ranges, reaching the foot of the latter near the junction of the Bremer with Boyd’s Creek (366ft.) at a distance of twenty-five miles from the summit, or fifty-six and a-half miles from Warwick.
		I estimate that the line and works on this section will not cost less than £23,000 per mile, and may possibly exceed this amount, as it is extremely difficult, without detailed plans and quantities, to arrive at any close approximation to the cost of works of such magnitude.
		The shorter length of railway to construct, the lesser magnitude of the works involved, and the consequent greater rapidity with which the line could be completed.

	petan.net - Gold Coast Rail
		While the Coomera River bridge base was strengthened and some sections of the South Brisbane to Kuraby line were duplicated and improved in the 1950's, other sections of the rail line were in their original single line alignment and still featured the original tight curves of the original track.
		The line was regarded as being unproductive and with an estimated cost of £3,000,000 to upgrade, the Southport line closed in preference to upgrading other more profitable lines, as had become railway practice.
		Had the line been upgraded in the late 1950's/early 1960's as proposed it is still unlikely that C17's would have been rostered on to the South Coast line as generally speaking C17's were rostered elsewhere in the state and were considered better goods engines than passenger locomotives.

	Rosewood Railway - Queensland's premier steam train ride
		Construction of this branch line began in 1910 from Rosewood, which is 58km west of Brisbane on the mainline to Toowoomba.
		The much-truncated line continued to be operated as a 4km siding to Perrys Nob but this final section was closed in 1995.
		Two 60-ton branch line diesel electric locomotives, a diesel hydraulic and a diesel mechanical locomotive are also available as well as six carriages and numerous goods wagons.

		The only exception to government construction was the short standard gauge railway built privately by Comalco to haul bauxite to port at Weipa.
		Some recent lines have been built for other than mining, Fisherman Islands (1980) to provide Brisbane with a new port, Roma Street to South Brisbane (1978) to link the two almost separate suburban systems in Brisbane.
		For QR the national railway reforms of the past five to eight years, particularly the competition reforms, are the most profound, and likely to be the longest lasting, in rail history.

	Electoral Newsfile 68: 1997 Redistribution of Federal Electoral Boundaries - Final Boundaries for Queensland
		In 1991, Queensland gained the seat of Dickson bringing the State's representative entitlement in the House of Representatives to 25.
		The Electoral Commissioner determined the Quota of electors in Queensland to be 78 121.
		Having considered the proposed redistribution and the objections, the augmented Electoral Commission for Queensland decided that, except for a number of changes arising from the objections process, the Committee's proposals were warranted and announced its decision to that effect.

		Oddly enough we who speak of the Rosewood Scrub usually mean not the scrub itself but where it used to be: the cleared hills and valleys.
		The surveyors for the State's first railway line chose to bypass it, while the squatters of the 1840s, 1850s and 1860s who vied greedily for the tastiest pieces of the south-east Queensland pie, largely ignored it.

		The fork line with a gradient of 1 in 20, was provided to turn the disastrous McKeen Rail Cars (1913-1931), which were generally permitted to run with passengers in the Forward direction only.
		The fork line was later found to be too steep for the low powered cars, particularly with a trailer attached, and as a result the gradient of the fork line was eased to a gradient of 1 in 25, 4 months after construction.
		The fork line was out of use by December 1950, with eventual removal occurring by 1963, leaving only the refuge as a legacy of the failure of QGR's first venture into Rail Motors.

		This was to be one of the few steam-hauled runs on the main line, due to a fire-ban being in place since much of the island was tinder dry following an absence of rainfall over the last few months.
		No less than 17 locos were used in steam for the Railway Touring Company party and it is difficult to know which was the favourite, although thrashing up the Hunter Valley from Sydney (the following morning from the rugby win....) and the Wilderness Coast Railway in Tasmania were my choice.
		Railway Touring Company was made very welcome (as we were on all preserved railways in Aussie).

		A 7km long 2ft (610mm) gauge tourist railway is part of a railway originally built to carry limestone and is situated 113km south of Hobart on the A6 Huon Highway and uses a mixture of (mainly) diesel and steam.
		The railway is spectacularly scenic and rises steeply along tightly curved grades hugging the hillside with views across the Goulburn valley and King Parrot Creek valley, reaching summit points via the switch back culminating in a 300 degree panorama of the whole valley as described.

		According to the South-East Queensland Regional Plan, Purga’s “potential is based on the area’s accessibility to interstate highways, supported by the connector between the Cunningham and Warrego Highways and the proposed dual-gauge freight railway linking the area to the standard gauge line north of Bromelton”.
		We would also like to see a standard/dual gauge line hook up from the Centenary Motorway to Darra, one that would have the advantage of providing a back-up route to the port should there be a problem along the Logan Motorway leg.

		In 1842 he permitted only “united committees” of the provincial estates; and in 1847, after long delay, he summoned not a popular representative assembly but the United Diet, comprising all the provincial estates, with the right to grant taxes and loans but without the right to meet at regular intervals.
		This unwieldy body remained his ideal, even though the narrow limits of his concessions immediately produced a conflict (the Diet's refusal of the proposed loan for the Berlin–Königsberg railway) and even though this first assembly of all Prussia powerfully increased the people's self-confidence on the eve of the Revolution of 1848.
		Despite belated attempts to organize a common resistance by the German governments, Friedrich Wilhem was eventually completely overwhelmed by the revolution in March 1848, which was inspired by the revolution of the preceding month in France.

		There was a hill from the Railway Station to Southall Green and Gordon would stop at the top of the hill, push the loaded cart down the hill, and as it started to go down he would run and jump onto the cart and ride it all the way down.
		The London and South Western railway arrived in 1849 and by the 1870's the suburban railway explosion signalled the final abandonment of Chiswick mansions, the destruction of its gardens, and the rapid building of estates that were to house generations of commuters.
