Lloyd Holmes – Railways on Both Sides of the Border
For much of his working life, Lloyd Holmes was employed across both the Victorian Railways (VR) and NSW Government Railways (NSWR) systems that ran along the Murray River, the border between Victoria and New South Wales. A lifelong train enthusiast, Lloyd captured many of his experiences on film, preserving moments from everyday operations to rare encounters.
Across 72 pages, he shares memorable stories including a chance meeting with an express train during a family outing, carefully planned photographic sessions of the streamlined VR S-class and NSWR 38-class on their respective expresses, and the hardworking goods engines that formed the backbone of both systems. A fascinating personal and visual record for railway historians and enthusiasts.
