Cooma Monaro Railway
Nellie Joyce Gillies
Nellie will not be forgotten for her unique ability to feed many passengers
in such a short time, either mid tour or the tours destination in the Dubbo Region.
Gulgong comes to mind, there was Nellie, BBQ hot and cooking sausages for the arrival of 6 & 22.
Also the times Nellie allowed members to stay in her home overnight.
Nellie was a Life Member of Macquarie Valley Railway and was transferred to Cooma Monaro Railway
upon the closure of MVR in Dubbo & Richmond.
Her Son Barry, remains a Life Member of Cooma Monaro Railway.
