Resident enginner's office at Glenreagh in 1923 - assume this may have had something to do with the GD line construction.

Glenreagh, 1/11/1948. (State Archives)

The train on the Dorrigo side of the platform is probably 1957 which was a regular on the line and ran a thrice weekly mixed goods at this point.

Here is the Lee family at the Glenreagh barracks, 1984. To the right is the 652.500 km peg plus Beyer Garratt 6039.
At that time several DSRM volunteers including myself were living at the barracks. The barracks has since been demolished by ARTC.
The DSRM volunteers worked from the Glenreagh barracks until the line was reopened to Lowanna in 1984 when they moved into Lowanna station. When the line was reopened to Dorrigo in 1986 the volunteers moved to Dorrigo. I remained behind at the Glenreagh barracks as the caretaker of the bottom end of the line until 1989, when I moved to Moleton. (Greg Lee)

Here is a pic of the initial DSRM workers' sleeping quarters at Glenreagh barracks in 1982. The truck is a B or D truck (I never did memorise the differences between the two). The people in this photo are John Wilson and Debbie Clement.
In late 1982 John Wilson and myself started clearing the G-D line from the Glenreagh end. John was living at Dorrigo and had been clearing the Dorrigo end, but when I moved to Glenreagh in October '82 John and I worked at Glenreagh on weekends, when I was home from working away. (Greg Lee)
