Tin Hares on the Ulan Line: Australian Trains

Over the Melbourne Cup long weekend in November 2013, the Association of Railway Enthusiasts and The Rail Motor Society organised a four day tour around New South Wales venturing as far north as Coonamble, west to Dubbo and Griffith and south to Junee.
The route of the trip was Telarah (near Maitland) - Muswellbrook - Gulgong - Merrygoen - Dubbo - Coonamble - Dubbo - Orange - Parkes - Stockinbingal - Cootamundra - Temora - Griffith - Narranderra - Junee - Sydney - Telarah.
The trip was operated by CPH7 and CPH1, two historic 1920's CPH "Tin Hare" railmotors that have been superbly maintained by the dedicated volunteers at The Rail Motor Society in Paterson.
The first video in this series features the journey from Telarah along the main northern line and across the scenic Ulan line from Muswellbrook to Gulgong via Sandy Hollow. This area is dominated by heavy haul coal traffic and a number of these trains can be seen passing our railmotors in this video
The drivers view through the 1975m long Bylong Tunnel is also available at • Cab Ride through Longe...

Don't know why, but I can easily imagine myself being on that train.

If you mean the pipes sticking up at some of the loops, not sure.
