KURANDA SCENIC RAILWAY (Video No. 8) - QR Queensland Rail KSR Train at Edge Hill, Cairns Queensland

Great stuff as usual! What a joy it is to watch - and be able to listen to - videos without inane chat and intrusive music. I'm doing another Cairns trip in July, so I might go back and watch you Spirit of Queensland, Savannahlander and KSR videos again. I'll be travelling on all three!

Thank you for fabulous comment Teddy; I'm really glad you enjoyed the video. Enjoy your trip to Cairns, and please give my regards to Will and Joe, the drivers on the Savannahlander. I know they'll look after you and you'll have a fabulous time.

Awesome video mate! I saw these locomotives ‘1774’ and ‘1724’ on May 11th at Kuranda parked up in platform 2; a few days after you got this video while I was recording the Savannahlander do a 3 hours early run from Almaden to Kuranda before it disappeared down the range. 😄

Thank you for the really kind comment TCR. I grabbed this shot during a quick sneaky detour on my way to an important appointment, so I'm really pleased it worked out well. Was the Savannahlander returning from one of those short overnight trips to Almaden when you filmed it the week before? I've seen a few still shots of it either alongside or sharing the platform with the KSR trains, mostly taken by Will. It will be great to see your video of what is actually a rare occurrence.

@@kartwheelkarlNo problem! Yes, when I saw the train it was doing one of the limited Cairns - Almaden and return runs. Due to the KSR services it was held at Platform 2 for about 30 minutes after the first KSR service left. Then it departed and got to see it pass the 3:30pm KSR service which was awesome! I’m glad you are looking forward to the video on it, thanks! Should hopefully be out in the next few weeks after I upload some of the videos I got of Sydney and South-West QLD action. 😄
