Traintober Day 2: Bridge

No art... just personal universe lore.

This up here is a photo of a VR K-Class Consolidation engine up on the Cudgewa Line in Victoria's High Country.

The line had steep 1-30 grades and was frequently haunted by the amiable, light-footed and reliable K classes that this became known as "K-Class Country".

Among the locos of the VR, the K-class generally became known as the "Cudgewa Mob", "Cudgewa Boys/Girls" or simply "Cudgies", regardless if any one particular K-class loco went to Cudgewa.

The Cudgewa Line served to transport goods and materials for the creation of Hume Dam and then the Snowy River Hydroelctrification Scheme. It stopped carrying passengers in the 60s and then goods during the 80s.

The Cudgewa Line now is the High Country Rail Trail.
