Hi Bob and all,
Since the Great Depression was worldwide to one degree or another
conditions were pretty much the same and people and governments just did
what they had to do in order to survive. We didn't stop at one railroad,
we built an entire ifrastructure as did Germany both employing methods
much the same but don't listen to the propaganda, it was no bed of rosy
velts here either. (I can't resist a pun!)
I have little knowledge of the original Ghan in the days of steam, could
be a research project coming up. There is a historical society involved
so that's a good place to start if I can find the rail head. I vaguely
remember something about floods frequently washing out the tracks and an
entirely new line built farther west, I think both are on that map I sent.
