OK Roderick??

Master of all things Railway and Bridges, I took a photo of this bridge and am not to sure where it is and thought you will know and the tunnel may be on the same line





On the back of the tunnel photo is a town name and railway tunnel, if its to hard of a question I will put the town name up latter for a clue because they might not be connected

Simply top of head. It is on the Monto line. I have photos of a steam train on that bridge. As a bridge, it does have a name.

The tunnel is too generic, but with the track vanished, must be in the Monto - Gladstone section (which had five in quick succession).

Roderick, The tunnel has Gin Gin Railway tunnel on it. On the bridge in my head is Biggenden, could that be right
Colin

The Gin Gin line ran from Bundaberg, and so will be right for a tour in the region. IIRC, before my first visit part had been converted for 610 mm gauge cane instead of 1067 mm gauge as built; I never have got to ride on/over it.
Yes, Biggenden is on the Monto line. The other famous bridge on that line is Dickabram, not concrete arch. You may well have photographed it too.

Roderick, I think now that I can write on the back of the photo Biggenden Chowey Bridge.

Thanks to you and google
Colin

The line continued from Gin Gin to Mount Perry. The Mount Perry section was closed many years before the Gin Gin section was. The old Gin Gin station has been a historical site although there has been major road works here, bypassing the steep climb on the highway south and i don't know if the rail yard was impacted.

Is the tunnel the Boondooma tunnel? It can be driven through by car and is part of a local tourist drive in the Mt Perry - Gin Gin area.

The Chowey bridge has some history, I think it is the first formed concrete bridge in Australia or something like that, and yes just outside of Biggenden, just past Degilbo.

KW 10x6, The tunnel on google looks the same as my photo but is spelt Boolboonda which is close

Yes you must be able to drive through it, as we have one coming out of it also
Colin

Johnm020, Have not seen your name up here many times before, I will have to go back up to that area and try to remember a bit more about it, we were looking at old photos and trying to work out a few of them
