First Brisbane train to Grafton opens long road link
The first train ran Sunday on the Brisbane to Grafton line shortening Sydney travel by 102 miles. An excursion of 500 passengers left South Brisbane at 9 AM and reached Richmond Gap at 12 45 PM. Spectators along the route enjoyed views of the gorge and bush. At Richmond Gap, farmers and railway workers welcomed the event. photos were taken during the stop at the falls. The Hexham vehicular ferry will gain a 30-vehicle capacity after its George's River Bridge opening, easing delays caused by the smaller 12-vehicle punt, with service expected within two weeks.
