An encounter with the South Brisbane railway system during the 1960’s was truly a step back in time to the early 20th century. On our latest episode, we’ll talk about how the Gabba depot came to be, why it disappeared, and how a ‘flag and bell man’ was such an iconic part of the old streetscape and railwayscape of inner-city Brisbane for many decades.
We’ll also talk with Greg Rooney, General Manager of the Rail Management Centre (or ‘RMC’) and South East Queensland Operations for Queensland Rail. Greg shares his story of his father working various trains over to Wooloongabba depot and why he’s excited about the new underground tunnel that will again change public transport on the south side of Brisbane.
