Fantastic footage Mitch! A great race today. I'm on the other train, filming from the 2nd coach.

[@WasatchGarandMan]

Fantastic video! Australian steam is very under rated. Absolutely love the aesthetics

[@xinnti7979]

Going to do that trip with the grand baby boys April 2020, what an amazing journey !

Great footage mate. Think I was filming once carriage down from you I reckon!

[@video_mitch]

I was in Car 3 at the centre door. Yes, I was lucky on the day considering. They did a really good job with the race.

[@AussieTrainiacs]

Love it! I think you were on the right train.

This is great footage thanks for sharing. On a side note, given your numerous videos around North Strathfield, it should be interesting when they complete the 3rd track between Strathfield and Hornsby, should make for interesting side by side running of steam trains, especially up the grades beyond West Ryde. Also, if possible would be great to see some footage of passenger trains (electrics) using the 4th track and dive to go to the Easter Show if possible, or using the 5th bi-directional track between Homebush and Flemington Markets for Olympic Park services (if there are any). If this does happen, it's pretty much the only time of the year it happens. I believe they switch onto the up refuge track between Rhodes and Concord West

Very good video :)

[@James_Bowie]

Thanks. Anyone get footage of 3265?

[@HowiesRailVideos]

I have, but I won't be about to upload my video for a couple of days.

[@James_Bowie]

Is there going to be a Central to Strathfield race during the 2019 Queen's Birthday weekend?

[@JohnSmith-sh1cu]

Yes there should be, the Transport Heritage Expo, they always run one on the Saturday.

[@James_Bowie]

@@JohnSmith-sh1cu Their website is empty other than for the date. I'd have thought they'd have their act together by now (mid April)? www.transportheritageexpo.com/

Not many 100 year old plus ladies win races !

[@terryhopkins2750]

It's all rigged,but who cares? Steam Trains are the best. But what has happened about 3801?

[@video_mitch]

Hopefully next year! (Yes, they said that last year). 3801 & the Garratt!
