I remember playing by that bridge half a century ago, when 5917 was the usual banker.. always wondered was around that bend`,. and where, or what the hell was Wimbledon 🤣, Anyway , the 59 usually came back alone . That was also a nice touch for Mr Thornton too..

Great video as always Bevan. Also big respect to the steam crew to pause the train to complete Ian Thornton's last wish will to have his ashes in 3801's firebox up Tumulla Bank. Ian would be very pleases. R.I.P Ian. Best Steam Locomotive engineman NSWGR has ever had.

One of the best videos I've ever seen of the 3801! Outstanding coverage of this magnificent locomotive.

She sounded awesome. Great footage as usual. The crew beautifully controlling the wheelslips, never letting her to get fully slip. Pity 5112 didn't have a boiler certificate instead of 4201. And what a contrast in atmosphere over two day's.🇦🇺👍🤠

My favorite thing is that this is the only train that carry the same style as the now extinct NEW HAVEN I-5 locomotive.

Watching from Canada 🇨🇦. I know we’re not allowed in by plane, is there a way for a person to get into the country by steam? 🙃. Asking for a friend. 🇨🇦❤️🇦🇺
