Cooma Monaro Railway
Cooma Monaro Railway
January 5th 2008 saw Cooma Station and the CMR become the focal point for the National Rally of the Vauxhall Owners Club. The car park became a sea of colour as Vauxhalls (and Bedfords) of all eras stood proudly on display for public viewing.
People from the Cooma area (and, one suspects, numerous other areas as well) came to admire the cars and appreciate the love and attention given to them by their owners.
All of these vehicles would have been totally in character standing outside the station in their respective eras. It is interesting to note that at 80 years young, CMR's railmotors are probably older than any of the vehicles on display.
One last look around before the sound of the Railmotor's horn announces its arrival back from a trip to Bunyan.
After disembarking, members of the Vauxhall group and members of the public alike could avail themselves of a sausage sizzle provided by our hard working station crew. And as you can see, the weather came to the party too!
Our sincere thanks go to CMR member John Gibson who provided a comprehensive photographic coverage of the event.
Classic Train meets Classic Cars
November 2006 saw the CMR visited by a group of MG car club enthusiasts. They enjoyed their journey on the train and we took the opportunity to photograph their beautifully maintained cars. (Note that a modern Mazda MX-5 has joined the lineup in the second photo). Our Peter Lawrence was the man with the camera.
Refer to our Group Tours page if you have an upcoming function that would benefit from the unique CMR experience.
