THE BETHUNGRA RAIL SPIRAL!! Some of Australia’s biggest Freight trains battling the steepest grades

[@tyronemaxwell3785]

That LZ sounds tremendous. Can't beat the sound of an EMD

[@TonesTruckinStories]

Spot on there mate! Sounded fantastic

[@maxschulz9342]

Nice video of the trains finished for the day here at 4:30 pm opened a stubbie well that was ok 5 stubbies later still thirsty

[@silvesterpeel5379]

It's truly amazing what the human race can do. When there's a single goal. Train down low + move up mountain = beautifully made spiral.

[@rogerevans936]

I used to go through Bethungra twice a week doing Cootamundra change overs out of Adelaide for Scott's Refrigerated. At one point a few years back,Bethungra was the cheapest place to buy a house in NSW

Love the mighty West Aussie LZ ! In rail industry, we called Bob tail- light engine/s

[@TonesTruckinStories]

Yeah she is a ripper! Sounds fantastic as well 👌🏼

[@NR29pacnat]

@TonesTruckinStories we still have 3 working in the west and dozen in storage.

I hit a dirty great rock between the tunnels before the cutting was widened on a 48 class many years ago,it made the little fella shudder a bit but we kept going.

[@nickk5731]

yeah thats pretty cool stuff tony. be good to do few trips on passenger trains through there

[@TonesTruckinStories]

Yeah, I reckon so mate. Would be a pretty good experience, I reckon.

[@KylieMuir]

Great work Tones, the nice calming sounds. Anything that has a nose on it just like a truck is a winner to me but also i prefer the 81 class over the 82 class.

[@TonesTruckinStories]

Yeah for sure mate, unfortunately there wasn’t a lot of activity over those couple of days 😆 SSR definitely have some beautiful old girls

[@davidcox9672]

Wow Tone, you'll be putting Bevan Wall productions out of a job. Great work, mate.

[@TonesTruckinStories]

Ha ha! Bloody love it

[@rodneyjeffery9726]

AWESOME MATE

[@TonesTruckinStories]

Yeah definitely well worth a couple of days 😆

[@sandramackin9817]

Amazing how long some of those trains are. Good work there by you..

[@TonesTruckinStories]

Yeah bloody magnificent isn’t it

[@malcolmolle8984]

Fantastique

[@wagrtrains]

Wish the LZ would come back home to WA :(

[@jamescrawford9883]

That’s the down line, it avoids the spiral.

[@lylechapman9757]

Awesome video Tones👍🏼 There is another line that doesn’t do the loop do you know what that is for?

[@jamescrawford9883]

The line south, it goes straight through.
