The Sunlander Train

[@lenardhenderson4889]

I want this train to come back because this is one of my favourite train out there

[@QR-Driver_Retired.]

Great video scenes of the Sunlander, with NO annoying music. Thankyou. 👍

[@bhanukirkman4547]

Such a fun train trip!! So annoyed and disappointed they got rid of it.

[@1978Prime]

I totally agree. I went on both trains last year and the Sunlander was much better than the new train.

[@sugarbabesistheGOAT]

Well, the train is now the spirit of the outback.

[@RailTownProductions]

Great video. All in good memories now.

[@steverose8436]

I remember driving the Sunlander in 1972 to 1976. I was a Fireman/acting Driver.

I miss this train n the horn on it as well, even the locomotive

[@Electrotract]

All great shots- especially the reverse curves at 8:10

[@matrussell4181]

I love the sound of that horn

[@Confuze4874]

It's now on static display, it will be great to bring it back

[@LeonardHenderson-gg8nf]

I miss this train 🚆 😢

[@peterlaustra2892]

Why not organise a statewide petition to have this train re enstated?

[@fmnut]

Peter Laustra go for it, mate! I'm from the USA, so I doubt they would listen to me.

[@LeonardHenderson-gg8nf]

QR livery is the coolest paint job on the loco

[@LeonardHenderson-gg8nf]

[@lenardhenderson4889]

I really to bring this train back 😞😔

[@AndreiTupolev]

18 cars? However long are these new tilting trains going to be? Or is there rather a lot of over-capacity there?

[@fmnut]

The replacement tilt trains will have 7 cars with a total capacity of 174 passengers. The Sunlander has both coaches and sleepers, as well as a diner and lounge, while the new trains will be all coach with seats that convert into some sort of bed, since this is an overnight trip. Also, there will be no more Motorail service where passengers can take their cars along on the train.
