Fabulous memories returned thank you Paul. I am lucky to be old enough and remember these beasts as every day transport. They flattened a few pennies I placed on the line at Zillmere station.

Probably the best sounding whistle Ive ever heard lol

[@robyntaylor6596]

Hey Paul, Thanks for sharing this great video with everyone. They have a done a superb job on the restoration of the loco, it looks like new.

[@detecting_Nathanael]

Hey Paul, I was travelling south on the Carnarvon Highway at Injune today and there’s an old steam locomotive is a tourist “attraction” on the northern edge of town. Looks very much like a C17. Cheers

[@paul1089]

Correct. It's the C17 (No. 824) that was involved in the Camp Mountain train disaster on 5th May 1947 that claimed 16 souls.

Shades of the old Rocky Mail - or the Sunshine Express On the Queensland Railway Lines There are places where one dines On the Queensland railway lines Private individuals Also run refreshment stalls (Chorus) Bogantugan, Rollingstone Mungar, Murgon, Marathone Guthalungra, Pinkenba, Wanko, Yaamba - ha, ha, ha! Pies and coffee, baths and showers Are supplied at Charters Towers At Mackay the rule prevails Of restricting showers to males Chorus Males and females, high and dry Hang around at Durikai Boora-Mugga, Djarawong, Giligulgul, Wonglepong! Chorus Iron rations come in handy On the way to Dirranbandi Passengers have died of hunger During halts at Garradunga Chorus Let us toast, before we part, Those who travel stout of heart Drunk or sober, rain or shine On a Queensland railway line. Chorus Bogantugan, Rollingstone Mungar, Murgon, Marathone Guthalungra, Pinkenba, Wanko, Yaamba - ha, ha, ha! Great work Paul.

[@parveenmalhotra401]

Nice very nice video

[@kennywilliamson3130]

I like the part when the steam train slows down than does three toots

[@Iggywiggywoo]

Electric trains might be faster, but steam trains are the original and best!

[@trainlover1474]

Did sunshine express run this train

[@paul1089]

No, QR Travel ran it using QR Heritage volunteers as carriage attendants.
