Another beautiful steam film Bevan. An interesting line, sadly it seems lost to us. And of course, my favourite steam loco 5917.

Hi Bevan, Maybe you could have put locations of every shot in as well, it's alright for those of us who basically know the area, but for others it would help. Apart from that it's a great video of a line that is now in dis-use, and sadly in many parts in decay. I was interested to see that in 2008, the year this was taken the line was still being maintained, so I would be interested to know when the last regular service stopped.

There was sporadic movement of grain from some of the silos along the line and off the Greenthorpe branch up until late 2008, and maybe into 2009. The LVR used 3237 & 5917 to move a lot of their passenger carriages out of Cowra on April 13th, 2009. The line was closed shortly after.
