When I was a young I travel many times with steam locos in my country, Chile. The landscapes are very similar to this video: steam locomotive, local train, cloudy weather, many trees, beautiful souvenirs.

I'm delighted this railway's open again.

[@1965willi]

I was there in 1986 or 1987. I didn't know it still existed. I found it very interesting at the time - and still does

Gorgeous locomotive and railway. So glad they restored it after those fires.

[@pavansingh2303]

*Is this train narrow gauge or broad gauge ?????????*

[@jorgesabater8640]

Great sounding locomotive.

[@DavidAllen-hr8yd]

Very entertaining video. I am very pleased it was not ruined with crappy music as so many other steam videos. All we could ask for is, as received, the sound of the old steam engine.

[@railandsteam6636]

Thank you 😊

Fun fact: that locomotive originally worked for the US Army during World War II as a class s-118. Some of its sisters survive in America. Notable American examples include White Pass & Yukon 190, 192, and 195.

How did it get to Australia?

[@SouRwy4501Productions]

@@terrybarrett2368 simple. The US Army sent several of them to Australia by ship.

[@railandsteam6636]

Interesting fact! Thank you for sharing!

[@YTViolatesourrightstofreedomof]

[@robertedwards3147]

[@rodneymaennling5963]

[@arnolddavies6734]

Do a video on the zigzag railway from Lithgow in the blue mountains of NSW, Australia.

[@Elliottblancher]

I have a book that has a bit on this Railway

[@elizabethroberts6215]

……reminds me of the great Pichi-Richi steam engine at Quorn, SA. Also, the ‘Blue Baby’ in Brisbane at ‘Ekka’ time………

[@xr6lad]

Ummm they might find someone standing there spraying there coal before it’s dropped reduces the coal dust. That’s what they used to do in steam days with coaling stages.

[@user-et2cj5jq7p]

Good pictures; great sounds; but no descriptions or narratives.
