What a great story as a Sunshine Boy, attended Sunshine Primary School & Sunshine West High School from the 70's to the 80's & my parents still live in Sunshine & so do I, both my parents worked at Massey Ferguson & tell me the day MF closed all the church bells in Sunshine rung out & everyone knew something serious was up. I was in Primary school & even I remember that day.

I was drum major of a National Guard band from Texas that visited Adelaide in April of 1986. I did not have time to do much train watching and hope you have some video or pictures from that year

Matt there's plenty of broad gauge action on KZbin from around this exact area and around that time. A quick search revealed quite a lot of vids. Perhaps not 1986 per se but 1988, a bit earlier too. Here's a couple: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqLMmYqNr5mUidU kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGame6COpqqSnpY Although a lot of these locos have been scrapped or donated to preservation an amazing amount are still in revenue service as of 2024 in SA, Victoria, NSW and QLD. Some might even make it to WA. A lot of the X class survive all the C class survive, many N class survive (all EMDs BTW). Quite a few Alcos still exist in revenue service particularly in NSW.

@@ThePaulv12 Thank you, Sir. I was 31 back then, and have forgotten most of the names of the folks I met in South Australia. I remember that one of the members of 10/24 battalion band of the Royal South Australia Regt was an employee of SAR. He told me about the 900 class ( I think those were Alco PA look-a-likes, sort of with English Electric prime movers) and they had just been retired. There was still broad gauge track everywhere at Mile End. I brough home several books, but have no idea where they went.

About the best diesel action video I've yet seen. From a time the locomotives gave visual and auditory output to match the horsepower input by such mighty machines. I love the display of smoke and "diesel music" that really gave you a feel of the power at work pulling against gravity and resistance. That was as time stunningly recorded!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏😀😀👍👍

Because there's no useable internet in most of regional Australia would be my guess. You city centric types have utterly, and I do mean utterly no idea. In 2024 in Maryborough central Vic with a population getting on for 10,000 you can't even load a Google homepage on your phone during the day. 2 mins outside of the town there's no phone or internet at all.

😲😉😁👏 Struth what an incredible sight that would have been seeing a whopping 6 EL's & GL locomotives from AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL blasting by heading a Freight train, such a lucky filmer to be there at the right time to capture that footage during the 90's, the feeling of awe and excitement would of been such a buzz!😎👑🤙 I used to study & Research everthing that rail company did in the rail industry, as a young fan It was such a sad day for me when my favourite rail company AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL got brought out an superseded by another company, little did I know at the time it's what companies love doing the best is to buy out other companies to grow larger whenever they have a chance of funds to do so an if they can't buy a company outright they at least attempt to purchase a percentage stake in it!

Classic Victorian EMD at its very best, the good old days when we actually had a railway! Semaphore signals and the occasional guards van, manned signal boxes, then mixed loco's from interstate with "through running", classic times. No graffiti idiots. Lovely focus on Clunes & Crewick too...Has anyone made a video on the signal boxes of that era? Thank you John.
