Ontrack vehicles at Avondale Train Station


A chance find, as I wasn't intending on going to Avondale via the railway line today (but I had to, as I missed a bus up on the ridge). According to Wikipedia, this is a Plasser and Theurer DGS 62 N dynamic track stabiliser.





But this other one ... well, a friend mentioned a name to me, but at the moment, I can't locate it online. Any rail fans out there care to help out?

  1. If the stabiliser is what I think it is, they are great to watch. They appear shake the track to get it to bed down into the ballast.

  4. It's a miracle, the speed things move around here, that I remembered I put that link up in the first place! :-)
