Disused railway station in Adelaide Hills, South Australia

As there has been a lot of interest in my previous post about railway stations that are no longer in service and a train graveyard in SA, I thought I would add another couple of stories.

Here's an article about a station at Balhannah that is slowly rotting away, while some other stations nearby have been luckier and have found a new purpose.

There are also some more photos on Flickr if you would like to see others.

 

Thanks for the pictures of Balhannah -- my favourite station , visited it in 1999 and again in 2011 -- a shame it can t be revived as a local living museum

 

Thanks athelney. It's a real pity the local community have not found a way to use this piece of their history. Fortunately I have found some other stations that have been re-purposed, like Mount Lofty.

 

Yep , know that one as well , taken a few shots of freights struggling up the grade there , my friend lives nearby so he has taken me around the area - thanks for sharing .

 

Sounds like you know SA rail almost better than some locals

 

Would nt want to say that , but my friend has shown me the area , have photo s at Belair , Mt Lofty , Mt Barker Jct , Balhannah , Callington and around Tailum Bend - hope to come back next year as well - hope Balhannah is still around --cheers Richard
