That is incredible I have not been on that line for fifty years. Recognized about 20% of it. It has changed a LOT from the days of the steam engines red rattlers Carriger's Deasil locos were coming in at that stage. The canteen used to make a fortune from selling bottled water and hot drinks during the winter. Great stuff. Keep it coming. 😁👍

Today's video actually made me a little sad. In Victoria you have country trains but we in SA don't. Also your long distant trips leave from the city, while ours have a terminus outside the city. So ridiculous, and all because some politicians wanted to put a building where the tracks were. We need to make some big changes over here. 😭
