The train

Another shot from our excursion on Puffing Billy on Wednesday. Puffing Billy crossing the Monbulk Creek Trestle Bridge. Built in 1899 on the narrow-gauge Ferny Creek to Gembrook line, to cross the Monbulk Creek between Belgrave and Menzies Creek, the bridge is unusual in its 'horseshoe curve'. It is 91 metres in length over 15 spans and 13 metres high.
It looks precarious but great shot.

What a great shot. Travelled on Puffing Billy many times when my daughter lived in Olinda.

It is an interesting sight but it also looks dangerous to sit in the window.

Fascinating railway! I daresay the views were stunning?

Thanks for all your comments. It is high up over the trestle bridge but generations of children (and adults) have survived. More significantly, in this day and age, no-one dropped their phone!

Yes, the views are stunning but it's also a great people-watching experience.
