Fascinating story... But the trans australia rail line was completed
in 1917. Perhasp Prissy is referring to repair work, or some of the
alterations in the 60's to fix the gauge-change problems..
So when and where was this, exactly, Prissy? I presume it is
documented in some museum somewhere? I'm fascinated by rail history
and would love to see more information about this, but there is
nothing on the Internet about it, unless I'm missing something... >> Stay informed about: Wild dogs pose for the D300 |

Good suggestion. Two years ago my wife got a then-one-year-old black and
tan hound. We have two cats, then 14 years old. The cats didn't really
take to the dog (understatement) then or now. The dog will approach the
larger of the cats (about 8 pounds) but is absolutely terrified of the
smaller (about 4 or 5 pounds) who emits a very soft growl whenever the
dog accidentally gets near. This growl, though very low volume, sounds
like it is coming from an animal at least as large as the dog. Never
underestimate a cat.

They are pretty small, but bigger than any Chihuahuas I've ever seen.
The one with longer hair is an adult male, probably 2-3 years old and likely
some terrier or schnauzer in it.
The other seems more like a puppy; maybe 6 months or so. He or she was also
very playful. Looks like some pincher blood.
Funny characters, to find a home in a sort of sewer, so close to the tracks.
But they seems smart enough to survive. Maybe some people are feeding them.
The male started warning me yesterday with a big GRRRR.

Here you go again... Spouting bullshit for the sake of hearing the keyboard
rattle. Not only bullshit but slander too. Your behaviour never changes,
does it?
Here is the truth... Something Mark Thomas AKA Charles Stevens (neither are
names he uses in real life) has no regard for.
Not only has he got the date wrong by 5 years but for someone claiming to
have lived in the area the line passes through, he hasn't a clue about it.
(Quoted from http://users.tpg.com.au/users/ipether/ausrhist.html )
The Trans Australian Railway was started in 1910 and took two years to
construct, connecting the Eastern States with West Australia's Government
Rail at Kalgoorlie.
It took 70 years more to get the transcontinental connection of the Indian
Pacific train as a single gauge trip across the country from Sydney to
Perth.
(end of quote)
Using my advanced algorithm to calculate this complex math, I arrived at the
date of 1980 as the time the *STANDARD GAUGE* conversion was finished.
I have no idea what the poster whom you are slandering meant with their
dates but very clearly you are showing your own stupidity in attacking
him/her on a matter a 12 year old could verify in a Google instant.
Exactly what is it about you "Mark" that has you making such a total idiot
out of yourself all the time? Are you so obsessed with me that you can't
think straight? Come on teach... Get it right or next year you'll be back in
the bubs again... If you'll still have a job that is.

Yeah, I was taking my godmother's bitch for a walk, and we met a (very
friendly to me)kitten that had almost the size of the dog's snout, which
Phewed! the dog scaring him to death.I managed to pet the dog with the one
and the kitten with the other hand.

Douglas, as pointed out above, I was right.
The TARL became operational on October 17, 1917. Not in 1912.
So you and Prisilla (what a coincidence) were wrong.
Got the guts to apologise?

even if it was 1917, 70 years later the "Standard Gauge" was

There it is folks, the closest you will ever see to admission of error
by Douglas.
> Well inside Pirsie's claim to have worked on it.
If you read carefully, smegbrain, you'll notice I gently queried
Prisilla (and we all know 'she' is you) about her dates. It was YOU I
pulled up for the stupidly inaccurate quote.
You lose again, no matter how much slimy wriggling you do. >> Stay informed about: Wild dogs pose for the D300 |
