This rusting train, station and disused tracks belong to an abandoned narrow gauge railway called the Tyntynder Hilltop train near Swan Hill in Victoria, Australia. Clearly deserted for some time but far from irredeemable, the railway appears to have belonged to a small resort complex.

Photographer Rob Lee wrote on his Flickr page: “A few miles west of Swan Hill on the Murray Valley Hwy there is a large caravan park/motel. It has seen better days. Of interest to me was the disused model railway. I imagine the place was set up with great hopes of becoming a resort but never quite made it. Today the train is spider infested, rusting and immobile. However, the tracks are all in place and the station is in good order.”

I grew up in Swan Hill and actually remember riding this train. The resort used to be called The Big Grape and the train used to run out along the grape vines.
