What's Happening at Archer Park
The Rail Accreditation process requires still more document
revision, so we still cannot operate the Purrey Steam Tram
again.
The station roof is being
repaired... hopefully
no more leaks when it rains.
Rail Accreditation is close to being finalised for Archer Park's
locomotives and rolling stock. This is a similar process to that
required for mainline rail operations and will help ensure the
safety of patrons and staff.
