A Region's Railway Lore: Or, Along the Permanent Way: Some not so fictional Railway Angsts in North Western New South Wales, from the 1920s to the 1960s and After

Abstract

This paper treats of four texts reflective of railway experiences - of workers and of travellers - on the inland railway system of Northern New South Wales, traversing a region of much scenic Grandeur. In sum, they offer a series of social and moral vignettes that define that work and travel across the 20th century, even as they capture so much otherwise now lost.
