    Red - QLD side
    Blue - NSW side

    The weather in this area would change depending on the season with temperature ranging from -8°C to 42°C. Different seasons would also bring different weather conditions such as heavy summer thunderstorms and heatwaves, mild and foggy autumns, cold winters with frequent frost and occasional snow near Glen Innes, and variable spring weather including rain showers and early morning fog.


    Wallangarra was important as it was where Queensland and New South Wales railway systems met to a common station. They had different track gauges, different facilities, but did share a station platform to allow easy transfers even the building in the middle was set up in a way were QR had their part and NSWGR had their part. The QR side had the rounded awning while NSWGR had the angled one.

    This is far too long for TSW and DTG aren't even making steam routes anymore, if anything only 1 of your 2 chosen would be made, and that's if DTG ever decided to make steam routes again.
