Peter Neve :

An obvious requirement for the terminus of the Tweed Railway at Kyogle was a turntable so that locomotives could be turned for the trip back to Lismore.
With the opening of the Border Railway from Kyogle through to South Brisbane in September 1930, for all intents, the turntable fell out of use.
However, when I made to journey from Sydney to Brisbane just under 40 years later, the turntable was still there!
I'll leave it to the experts to tell the subsequent story.
The photo was taken from the window of my TAM sleeping car on No. 3 Brisbane Express on Friday morning, 11th April 1969. On my way to photographically record the demise of Brisbane trams that weekend.
Memories from scanned photos.
