Pilbara 2007
Welcome
Welcome to Rail Images Australia, featuring photographs taken by Simon Barber. Images extend from 1981 to the present day, and include special or unusual workings as well as day-to-day scenes.

Prior to January 2006, all the photographs displayed were originally shot on slide or print film. Most photos since then have been taken digitally. The collections usually feature images taken in the same calendar year. Some collections, however, are based on a particular theme.

The gallery is updated regularly, so please keep checking. You will see links below to a gallery of overseas photographs and also a collection of photographs on the Railpictures database.
June / July Update
Photos added from 2009, also some vintage scenes from 1985.
