As a school kid going to school to Milsons Point from Chatswood we would often get a ride in the Red Rattlers drivers cab. If the train was packed the drivers often let passengers be in the drivers cab area. Very different times in so many ways. So many memories here especially the sound these classic trains made.

Hi Barrie 👋 I think it's inspiring to see so many young people with their cameras and capturing this train from so many points along the way. I like to see them because it makes me appreciate more what was once a regular and only way to ride the Sydney System to school and work. Excellent presentation Barrie, well done 👏 👍

Like yourself, I love to support the next generation of rail enthusiasts, much has changed since I was doing it as a young guy but I still see the passion and excitement there in the younger guys/gals.

I used the East Hills line for the best part of 20 years but this is the first time seeing it from this prospective.

Must have been a hot day for you Barrie as I noticed some WOLO boards out. Sorry mate, didn't last past Sydenham due to all the background noise, I like to enjoy the rattles and sound of the traction motors. I see the terrace house at 14:07 on the left is still there, used to be a woman who sun baked topless in the backyard there in early 1980's, she didn't care about the freight train crews looking down into the yard! Leading car should have been a designated "Quiet Carriage"...😆

Hi Dave. The sound of the video annoyed me as well, unfortunately that was the best recording option on such a busy tour. Yeah it was very hot, there was decent air flow in the cab though. Thanks for watching what you were able too
