Victorian Railways - Memories of Steam

[@dieseldavetrains8988]

I really enjoyed that 30 minutes and I am not even a steam fan, great video of VR in the past.

[@okgoakes]

thanks Jim, these are sights never again to be seen

Precious film. Thanks for posting. I recognise some locations but wish more sections of track could be identified with captions. And I’m sure the newer editing programs could restore somewhat the dark footage.

I remember seeing some of the K class footage on Scott McGregors Railway Adventures when i was really little

[@jimgraham6861]

Well picked up, I think he used some of my footage around Eildon Weir, a long time ago, cheers, Jim

[@jimgraham6861]

Yes Scott borrowed my footage for his doco... well spotted

[@jigbuilda]

Great footage, thanks for posting!

[@jimgraham6861]

at 8:44 the music is Pietro Mascagni - Cavalleria rusticana: Intermezzo

Some precious memories there, especially the Canadian Red D3 639 in action. Just a shame so much image quality has deteriorated on the film.

[@tomwhelan4561]

Is some of that footage the Wodonga - Cudgewa line? Such a shame that line got closed.

Great video, what ever happened to all the swingdoor rolling stock???

[@JacksVictorianTrains]

you might be talking about somthing else but i know steamrail i think it is has a swingdoor tait but they have to restore it due to people lighting it on fire in the night

What level crossing at 18 55 . Is it on the South Gippsland line ? Cranbourne? Lang Lang?

[@jimgraham6861]

Cranborne Crossing the DERM

[@AH137productions]

Wow thanks . Looks very different today . When was this filmed and what other crossings were in it ?

[@dunxy]

Yeah very different, i didn't pick it.I was on the last Derm to go across there when 55rm went up to SGR,i assume it left by road.

[@jimgraham6861]

That was at Cranbourne on election day 1975 I think, Cheers Jim
