Down South - lots of action at Goolwa Depot



As well as its main depot at Mt Barker, SteamRanger also operates a sub-depot at Goolwa,
mainly to support operations of the local "Cockle Train"

Over nearly 19 years, the volunteers at Goolwa have also undertaken a major restoration of Brill railcar 60,
installing a diesel engine in a virtually derelict railcar trailer.
The car returned to service in mid 2001
