On the Eastern slopes of the Adelaide Hills, about 40 km from Mt' Lofty Station, is the small town of Callington. This once , vibrant Copper mining town , is now home to a few hundred people , and is a quiet , close community . Just outside the town , among ploughed fields , is the popular "Callington Curve" , a favourite with local rail fans. Having been on my list for a while, I decided to take the "Polestar" for a highway trip to this interesting location. My first train is a Eastbound Pacific National , which has an issue with a loaded steel car , which I report to ARTC, who own and maintain the tracks , and the train is put into the next siding to inspect the car.
This is a great spot, and worth the 40 min drive from Stirling, so stay tuned for more from "Callington Cure".
Cheers Gregg.
