Shunting accreditation and HOL 8th July

  • by

It has been a great day for Oberon Tarana Heritage Railway Inc. We have received confirmation from The Office of the National Safety Regulator (ONRSR) that our application for a variation to accreditation to shunt using a locomotive or tractor has been approved. OTHR can shunt (subject to Loco crewing) rolling stock in the Oberon yard. We will in time be able to move Car Set 21 to the platform for Open Days and other special events such as Heritage Transport Rallies.

In recent times we have made a further application to John Holland Rail and Transport for New South Wales to vary our heritage operators licence north of Albion Street. This particular application includes some extra distance past Hazelgrove to just south of the Snake Valley Creek Bridge near Carlwood.

The station platform project is progressing. The timber has been delivered. Tenders will be called when the Department of Environment and Heritage completes its assessment of the project.

These activities are just another step towards OTHR’s mission which is, to run a Diesel hauled Heritage Tourist Train along the Oberon Branch Line.
