[@robertcameron2808]

A great little video thanks for the memories I was there at central that day.

[@jimmynswgr]

You certainly have some great footage Bevan! Thankyou for sharing it with us. I doubt we will see such a sight again, two 4-4-0s, on the mainline with the Pullman cars and no diesel assistance.

There is something magical with steam on a wet day. Thanks for this magical video.

[@adriankingston4338]

The sight of double heading 4-4-0's is just magic ! Awsome footage.

I came down from Tuggerah on a V set with my dad, was such an amazing event!

[@MrDankEngine1999]

That was the last time we ever saw 1709 in steam, it is currently on display at Trainworks today.

Never get tired of Steam trains and the stories told about them !

[@jonathanarmstrong7508]

I love how you can here 3801s whistle in the background as the two double headers are just leaving😁☺️🥰🇦🇺🦘

Great video Bevan, even though I am not a steam enthusiast the history aspect is still worth the viewing. Bib and braces and bowler hats, now there's a fashion statement from the past! I wonder how white the driver and firemans shirts were at the end of shift? Thanks for posting it, enjoyable!

What a beautiful sight

[@jameslvsjo]

How close to having a SPAD was that on approach to Strathfield?

[@spagelsmegal]

I wonder if they will ever get one of the two z13 class engines working again cause I love those tank engines

[@danielcook9032]

These are not Z13s, One is a Z12 and the other is a Z17

[@spagelsmegal]

Daniel Cook I know they aren’t but I would love to see a z13 running again

[@flamingfrancis]

The W set made an outing for the day as the Olympic Park Lidcombe shuttle.

[@SantaFe19484]

When did Australia switch from European style to knuckles couplers?

[@Match2100]

Depends which state you're talking about

[@collinblack_60103-]
