Great video. On a side note both NR Class locomotives are still currently in service now owned and operated by Pacific National repowered and with Pacific National blue and yellow livery.

Excellent condition compared to how they are these days and as someone stated ready for the chop.

My Dad caught it from Sydney to Brisbane. He noted that the cars weren’t exactly noted for their ride quality. Probably why it always stabled overnight. Not sure how it handles the tracks in Peru (on metre gauge, I believe).

The carriages are now in Peru.

Where did those Carriages end up ?

Are those carriages from Australia or overseas

Since the Great South Pacific Express was on Narrow Gauge how did they manage to convert it to standard gauge?

Cool mate

The b for boong nose.

I’m 54 and remember getting train from Seven Hills to Town Hall from 1983 to 1985 the from Carlingford to Town Hall going to school from 1986 to 1988 , great memories, I threw my Boater of the Harbour Bridge 86 from a red Rattler with other school mates. ex St Andrew’s Boy Sydney now resides Upper North Shore near Knox Wahroonga

Would be a while since B61 and B75 were last paired up together

0:55: Two-tone horn in a American style locomotive in Australia?

❤❤❤❤

It’s wasn’t just the sale of the locos What about all the knowledge that was lost in closing down the workshops

They looked great in the National Rail and the Australian National green and gold livery, really suited them.

Nice mate

Gotta love these DL class locomotives, it’s actually sad to see all of them in storage in Werris creek, awaiting the chop…

💀what a golden catch and imagine trying to see this in 2024 2:31 💀

BN converted wrecked locos into cabless calves back in the day. Those three might be some of those. Great catch!

Very nice, at 1:15 it was like two time zones passing each other with 3830 and 3526 passing that Tangara in the opposite direction.

Beautiful! This is rhe area where the westbound CN tracks cross over to the east side of the coast bound Fraser River! But further back, I would like to see the interchange at Black Canyon where all westbound CN & CP traffic must make the switch onto the CN tracks, as well as the point where the CN tracks get back onto the north / west side of the Thompson! Thank you!

Do you like the 3237 whistle or 5917 whistle

You can almost smell the brakes in the first 2 minutes of the video. Hehe

I'm a huge fan of EL class locomotives they looked better in the AN livery

hi locomotive 4204 is under overhaul at goulburn roundhouse for working condition,seymour railway heritage centre is doing restoration work on cl17 it might be going to Lachlan valley railway society doing trip around nsw

I worked NARM (Peabody) from 2012-2013. What a trip. Between helping support controls operation - digging and processing coal to watching these cars loaded. Once in a lifetime experience. I'll never forget how brutal the winters were. @Dave Patrick- thanks - you know who you are - I'll never forget.

Excellent coverage

25 years later is it still running?

Top stuff.

Cool mate

I remember Father telling me. the first G class was back in the 80's when they trailed them before the 81's

first

A unique Garratt Steam Locomotive operating at this railroad right in the country of Australia. Good cab ride on 6029.

The D59s Look like the Japanese D51s

0:25 That old nathan whistle sounds Broken must be Priming or something

Living In The Blue Mountains For Over 60 Years, These Beautiful, Fast And Powerful U-Sets Were An Integral Part Of My Childhood As Well As My Late Brother's!! I Cannot Adequately Describe The Fondness I Have For These Silver Wonders, How They Used To Clatter Across The Plains From Parramatta To Emu Plains At Fantastic Speeds, And Drive Up The Mountain So Effortlessly!! It Was A Joy To Stand At The Open Door, And To Be Able To Open A Window In The Hot Summer; Just As Effective As The Virus-Laden Air Conditioning, Without The Viruses!! They Were A Big Part Of The Joy Of Living In Sydney, Of Cheap Rents And Utilities Like Gas, Which Cost Seven Dollars A Quarter, Instead Of The Eight Thousand Bloody Dollars A Year I'm Now Paying To Heat My Bloody House In The Mountains Today; The Era Before The Politicians Turned It All Into Shit, And Made Sydney A Dangerous, Overpriced, Overcrowded And Alien Ghetto!!

Where was the track Junction @ 1.54 going🤔🤔🤔

Been on KZbin before. Number of times.

Merry Christmas, freight Santa!

Is the diesel applying any traction from the rear or just there for electric power and backup?

Cool mate
