Cab Ride in T379 on Boort Container Train from Bendigo - 1999

Filmed by my uncle on a legal cab ride to Boort from Bendigo in 1999. Enjoy the ride as he traverses the now closed Eaglehawk to Inglewood railway line and beyond.

I love seeing all the old HQ holdens even still being driven in the 90's… it was around '99 I saw one for sale for only a few grand. 4 door silver trimatic 253… had some front quarter panel damage but the rest of the car was straight as. Was owned by an old man. To this day I still regret not buying it off him!

excellent. at 12:06, 2 sheep thought the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

I hate to say it but sadly, T379 was cut up at Port Kembla, NSW. Another T Class bites the dust and sent to the station in the sky…

14:57 Wait, i didn't know Victorian crossings had the "target board" crossbucks back in 1999, i've only noticed them here since 2008!

What year was this clip taken.It is a shame seeing the sidings no longer at the silos and seeing Korong Vale having no sidings at all. Yes it was a huge railway town with a big yard back in the 70s when l was living there.

April 1999.

Bernie Gibson was the driver at Korong Vale back in the 70s who took me to Maryborough in Y169 and on my 15th birthday took me in B66 T365 to Quambatook on a block train with my brother Ronald Hearn being the fireman on that train.
