That train took me to and from hospital a number of times. A family friend, Don Selby, was a fireman on that train for many years.

Miss the conductors, worse thing the government ever did taking them away 😢 As a little kid in the 80s the no.67 was my line, I remember collecting the ticket stubs, and it was a great day when you got a star or heart shaped cut out shape on your ticket. I recall a Connie giving me a few stubs he’d stuck in the advertising along the top of the windows.

Brisbane should never have gotten rid of their trams. They are the most popular form of public transport globally. The only reason that Melbourne still has its trams is because of my dad's cousin, Major General Sir Robert Risson. He was head of the tramways board in Victoria. And another thing, did you notice all the Australian made cars. What a time

You wouldn't recognise the RVR at the tunnels for the whole area is thickly wooded and where the rail lines were is now often a deeply rutted dirt track. Richmond Main Mining Museum was going to restore ROD 21 but then found it to be in need of too much work for them so they gave up, painted it black with the letters ROD on it's tender. The other two ROD's are at Dorrigo and will never run again.

My Dad bought special tickets to take us children on the very last tram trip down Coronation Avenue. At the time, we didn't think it a big deal but he said we'd appreciate having done so in the future. I hope he knows how right he was. 🥰

@sue9151 Remember when we used to count up our money in revenue? The twenty cent coins had to be stacked in $4 piles in small wooden trays. You walked past my connie counting up her money and said 'working with him? You're gonna need a f#@*ing meat dish to fit in all the coins. You reckoned I was a slow driver and had more paying passengers when you worked with me. At least we didn't do the run along Balaclava Road. Known as the copper canyon! The ethnic population were notorious for paying their fares with small coins.

Short sighted politicians who were responsible for removing rail lines all across the state. Now we need them but they are gone forever. Guess what? It's still happening today. Are our politicians incompetent or corrupt. Probably both.

I liked driving real slow in front of the tram and then watching the conductor complain to the cops at the police station not to forget the driver, giving the horn heaps. What fun times

My mother used to take this train to work. Kenny Hill is the 1:19 grade. In winter, it could take a couple of goes to get over. Great filming. Camden was a great place to grow up.

I was a little curious about the train. I knew of it but wasn't from NSW. Then I was captivated by the sombre piano. Looking further I saw so much more of what we have lost. People hanging out of open doors and windows. Photo stops. Jumping off the train when not at a platform. Even while still moving. Dressed up for the occasion. I recently went on a steam excursion and how different it is. Freedom is what we have lost. Not just the trains or the lines or the steam engines. Something so much more. I also noted wryly how the majority of those in this clip are now dead.

My now 73 year old heart is broken watching this. I travelled to Campbelltown on this train at the start and end of the school term when I was a boarder in what in those days was known as St.John's college. My parents also when they came to visit me. Dear train, Requiscat in Pacem 😢😢.
