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 second video in this series features the journey from Gulgong to Gilgandra via Merrygoen and Dubbo. The line through Gulgong to Merrygoen and Dubbo forms part of the cross country route between Dubbo and Newcastle while Gilgandra is on the Coonamble branch where the main traffic is wheat.
