THE TRAINS - Railway Transportation Magazine

An index of items relevant to railway operations in South Australia. It includes material on the Commonwealth Railways, including the Northern Territory operations, and also the operations of the Silverton Tramway Company, and other private railways.

"Railway Transportation" was an industry publication, although its subscription base in latter years was probably dominated by rail enthusiasts.
