A gold rail pass issued by Queensland Railways to His Honour Judge K S Dodds of the District Court of Queensland 1986 - 2011.

These medallion style gold passes were issued up until about 1990 when a change was made to a gold coloured "credit card" style plastic card.

He was admitted to the bar in December 1968 and worked as a Crown Prosecutor and later a Central Crown Prosecutor in Rockhampton until 1978 when he entered private practice.
His Honour was appointed as a Judge to the District Court of Queensland in 1986 and in 1993 presided over the Disctrict Court at Maroochydore where he stayed until his retirement. His Honour served for 25 years before retiring in 2011.
