Unfortunately overhead water tank has been demolished even though it was sitting on steel RSJ support beams.

Must be completely overgrown now. See recent vid. Of Megan station.

Well this was a waste of energy for the dorrigo end any way

Cool! Makes the rails look like they're a wet noodle.

How is it now (2018)?

brings back memories.. I used to go here every year with my old neighbours and their son my age.. they stopped taking me one year and I haven't been in a couple, I really had my best summers in Australia here..

Thatsa notta bogged ! ..... she ah justa slip.... I remember hearing an old Ding fellah, (who knew about these things), say when I first started driving 6 wheelers. Well done, good save.

場所的にまるで東日本大震災の復興を進み始めてる常磐線や三陸鉄道線な感じですね｡

bogged ? it need the offroad tyres only

fantastic spot.. I love Red Rock and also Corindi around the corner !

the rails seems to be made of a rubber. I didn't see so flexible in my life.

sounds like star wars

The poor robot is calling for momma.

He wasn't bogged, he was just tripping.

just facepalm yourself...thermite welding IS more expensive but you can't prestress a rail before it is arc welded and therefore not a good idea when used on high speed rail or when the rail has to carry a current. Arc welding is no safer than thermite welding but it is NOT faster when welding rails together with little to no inclusions

So you mean hand welding is faster then buttwelding a railroadtrack? I wonder who lacks common sense and logic thinking here because it sure as hell ain´t me. :D

you seem to be missing the fact that traditional welding is cheaper, faster, more easily controlled, safer, and all around easier. You seem to lack any trace of logic. You should try some critical thinking exercises.

Im not the idiot here for sure since i don´t go for only one solution when there are others and totally stick to that as you do..

well then i would consider you a complete moron.

I find it extremely unlikely that someone would weld that with a stick no matter where they would be..

i find it highly unlikely that any "thermite" welds are used. Unless its the dead of winter in the middle of nowhere.

Either buttwelded or thermite.

more than likely they are welded the old fashion way.

Тупая технология.

New South Wales - just south of Coffs Harbour.

Amazing machine. Let's there in Russia

Individual sections of rail are 1,600 feet long, which is about 488 meters

I need on of these to get my wife out of bed.

Yep.

When you say"The Creek", do you mean Herrons Creek?

That's Greensill Bros. A good recovery!!

Looks like Lite Rail

Sweden

Where is Sawtell? What state?

Very interesting! It's good to hear that the museum at Glenreagh is still reclaiming trackage. I remember a few years ago (six or seven I think) when we lived at the scout camp, Camp Eagle-Eye (just before Glenreagh), the trackage was relatively short. I wish we could reclaim the trackage at the Cooma Monaro Heritage Railway. The Chakola bridge needs replacement and the trackage after Cooma has been ripped up.

Do you mean John Henry? Or Casey Jones?

Quarter mile pieces of steel bend like wires. Then they thermite them together. Crazy...

Wheres that in?

а где бабы в спецовке ???

keep up the good work, stay small, avoid megalomania, concentrate of what has to be done instead of dreaming and comply- willingly- with the Transport Regulator. good luck

excellent work, thanks for sharing this. there is hope yet for at least some part of the old Dorrigo track

bit more effective than others the top half of the line- owned by another organisation- will be cleared using secateurs and pruning saws.

It was and one soon it will be again, not long to wait now.

Looks like a cool ride!!

this guy is moving rails liek it's a rubber band !!!…

It's such a pity that the efforts to restore the Dorrigo branch line has been left to 'rot' and fester since the mid-80s. The idea has such potential, but the Dorrigo collection is now just rusting away and it's likely that the project will never see a solution.

I gave his dad a copy of the full video see if you can get a copy to look at?

This is my mates dad driving :)

Best time to walk the breakwall.

I LIVE HERE AAAAAHHHHH HOPE IT NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN
