What interests you about Railways?

Welcome to A Railway Life, a space to admire, and if you like it, chose some of my railway photography to take home with you, or gift to someone you know will enjoy it. I think most of us would have grown up with model railways as kids, and for those fortunate enough, had steam trains visit your home town.

I was lucky growing up, my home town of Bendigo was a railway hub, had frequent train services, and, during the grain season, lots of long, heavy trains heading south to ports of Melbourne and Geelong with a steep climb ahead of them.

I still have fond memories of having my bedroom windows wide open in the night, despite the mosquitos, listening to the trains climbing up to the Big Hill tunnel, the noise fading in and out, and the scent of the diesel exhaust in the air until it was quiet again.
