This visit was about 8 years ago before they opened the new museum with the train ride. It's an amazing place but a shame I only got to visit the Mount Pleasant station.

Awesome pics. Tons of interesting stuff. Thanks for posting.
 
Back in the 1960's my dad worked at Mount Pleasant and his night shifts were spent working on that platform.....:cool:

I was fortunate to visit the Mount Pleasant station when the railway was working as it was meant to - with other members of the RCTS, the Railway Correspondence & Travel Society.
I recall the trains running into and out, and being unloaded and loaded. And one of the route-changing switches in the control cabin not cutting in or out cleanly, and arcing.
 
Absolutely fantastic - thank for posting these. Just when you think you've seen all the photos from explorers 'pre-museum' some more crop up! Best place in the world, this.
