I had enjoyed the spot so much in 2009, that it was on top of my bucket list for a return.
Actually, I have been back a few times since, with most of my southern railway adventures usually taking in this fascinating location.
Since the taking of these photos, this small station has undergone some restoration by PNR. The currently look will be covered on this blog down the track however, if you wish to see it on video now, check out our latest Lutucan Station video here.
A link to our 2009 visit can be found below.

Railway crane had already been in town for some time for use in rebuilding the washed out bridge to the north of the station.
We previously got it there in 2009 before the two sides had been reconnected.

Various shots of the various last MC class railcars in existence. Hopefully one day there will be the interest needed to see her preserved.
