The Perus-Pirapora Railway 1977 - Part 2
(Out and About)

James Waite  first visited the railway back on 16th September 1977 and these pictures give a flavour of its operation then. There are a number of reports and articles on the Perus-Pirapora Railway on this website if you want to know more:


The Preservation Society ( IFPCC) would greatly appreciate receiving pictures of the railway from visitors who photographed it before closure. Please send an email to the following address (not a link, you will have to retype it): Any images used on their website will naturally carry an acknowledgement as to their source.


More details of the locomotives shown can be found in the list on the linked page above.
