Glenreagh Mountain Railway, known as the GMR, was established in 1989 as a heritage tourist railway at Glenreagh, near Coffs Harbour, New South Wales, Australia. GMR's objective is to restore and operate a heritage tourist railway on the Glenreagh to Ulong section of the Glenreagh to Dorrigo railway line. GMR is a non-profit, community-based organisation run entirely by volunteers, and has an authority to raise funds under the Charitable Collections Act. The GMR acquired the 35-kilometre section to Ulong in 1999 from the then State Rail Authority, and is currently restoring this section of line as well as rolling stock, to enable the heritage tourist railway to operate. Tourist trains for the public were run in 2004. GMR's current rolling stock includes steam locomotive Z19 class 1919, 4-wheel watergin L568, TAM sleeping car, 2 heritage end-platform cars, S trucks, ex-Sydney interurban cars ("U-boats") and numerous trikes and track maintenance vehicles. As of December 2005, GMR has completed trackwork to safe working standards for train operation from Glenreagh West Depot 3.5 km west to Tallawudjah Creek. Steam train operations were scheduled one weekend a month subject to fire bans. In February 2008 operations ceased while GMR worked to fulfill its obligations under the Rail Safety Act. ==Preservation== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Glenreagh Mountain Railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
