This page has a collection of images showing the remains of the old narrow gauge North Australian Railway,
which ran from Darwin to Birdum, some 500kms. This line was vital in Australia's Northern defence during
World War 2 and remained in use up until 1974, when Cyclone Tracey, put an end to the pioneering railway.
