Summary
| Description |
Deutsch: Mitarbeiterhäuser der ehemaligen Commonwealth Railways in Loongana, Western Australia, 1147,5 km von Port Augusta, South Australia, an der 1693,5 km langen Trans-Australian Railway zwischen Port Augusta und Kalgoorlie. Die ehemalige Siedlung liegt (ungefähr) in der Mitte der Nullarbor-Ebene und liegt mit 478,193 km auf der längsten geraden Strecke der Welt. Die Bahnstrecke ist Teil des 4352 Kilometer langen Eisenbahnkorridors Sydney–Perth. Die Häuser waren für Mitarbeiter zu einer Zeit, als es notwendig war, lokale Wartungsmannschaften zur Verfügung zu haben; Jetzt wird die Wartung von Auftragnehmern durchgeführt, die anderswo leben. Seit der Aufnahme des Fotos im Jahr 2006 wurden alle Gebäude von Loongana und vielen anderen Orten der Trans-Australian Railway abgerissen oder entfernt. Züge halten nicht in Langoona, aber es gibt ein Dreieck für die Umkehrung von Schienenfahrzeugen.
English: Employee houses of the former Commonwealth Railways at Loongana, Western Australia, 1147.5 km from Port Augusta, South Australia, on the 1693.5 km-long Trans-Australian Railway between Port Augusta and Kalgoorlie. The former settlement is at (approximately) the middle of the Nullarbor Plain and is on the longest length of straight track in the world, 478.193 km long. The railway is part of the 4352 kilometre Sydney–Perth rail corridor. The houses were for employees at a time when it was necessary to have local maintenance crews available; now maintenance is undertaken by contractors who live elsewhere. Since the photo was taken in 2006, all buildings have been demolished or removed from Loongana and many other localities on the Trans-Australian Railway. As of 2021, trains do not stop at Langoona, but there is a triangle for reversing rail vehicles. |
