I am a 75 year old Australian, I worked in all areas depicted, I congratulate you on a very thorough & accurate depiction of Aus railway history. As a Tasmanian, appreciated your inclusion of their railway system which, due to geography, did not mimic the mainland.

As an Aussie (who is not really into trains} i found this very interesting and your narrating very soothing to listen to : )

As an Australian, I must say this video is very accurate! Not many commentaries from international viewers come close to achieving this level of accuracy and coverage. A few minor inaccuracies such as pronunciations, but we can't all be perfect, and I'd even say you did better than most non-Australians would.

The Pilbara is also home to the first totally battery electric mainline trains - with no external power. The battery is charged by dynamic braking on the run downhill to the port and the recovered charge used to drive the empty train back uphill to the mine.

I wrote part of the computer control system which loads iron ore on to trains on a pilbara mine. It took control of the engine off the driver and moved the train in sync with the ore loader. The train was so long a special radio communication tower was built on a hill top to ensure the required line of sight with the front of the train.

Greetings! Typing this while sitting in a Victorian electric broad gauge suburban train set. Australia’s gauge problem came about… wait for it… because of an Irishman, an Englishman and a Scotsman. All the states hired their own engineers, who built their networks to their native gauges back home. Throw in timber tramways, private lines as well and we have at least 4 gauges in Victoria alone. Great video!

The Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) is actually a federal government owned statutory corporation with passenger services having priority over freight. Rail operators pay fees to ARTC for access to the network and ongoing operations and maintenance are built into the pricing structure. Additional funding is also provided by Government.

I’m Australian and didn’t know half of the stuff you went though in this video. Really great work, loved it!

As a West Australian, I loved your appreciation for the Pilbara's railway network [pronounced pil-buh-ruh] but it would have been really nice if you mentioned WA's expansive railway, which are also in 1067mm NG track. Here in Perth, we have a wide array of trains and lines, we've developed much differently because of our isolation from the East.

The trans-Australian railway wasn't just approved, it was constitutionally required as one of Western Australia's demands in joining the Commonwealth of Australia alongside an accompanying telegraph cable. Also, I live along the line between Perth and Kalgoorlie so get to see some impressive trains go through fairly regularly.

Thanks for including my Cairns Rail Cement Train clip in your video! I’m very happy you credited my clip without just taking it without credit, I really appreciate it. Now for my comments, I wish you mentioned some more of Queensland’s railways because it’s so incredibly unique even aside the huge narrow gauge railway network. First of all our 2ft (610mm) gauge sugarcane trains are kinda crazy to think about. Thousands of kilometres worth of 2ft gauge track, spread over many extremely complicated networks north to south of the state. They operate with little to no signals at all and operated by radio communication instead! The only signals used are for catch points where 3ft 6in gauge crosses 610mm gauge and mill yards to indicate when a line of full or empty cane bins is ready for import or export. They also are incredibly unique as their large 2ft gauge rail networks are the only major tramway gauge railways in the world to operate a profitable business with millions of dollars of investment each year. Sugarcane train operations can also be very peculiar and sometimes even seem safety lacking at times. Trains with a crew of 2 are allowed the co-driver to hop out of the train while still moving, switch points or add things like tail sticks to the back of trains and get back on, yet again why the train is still moving! (Mostly at low speeds of course though😉) Also with some lines of particular sugarcane railways becoming so old that they have to use tractors to haul their train wagons! The ones I speak of are Victoria Mill’s “horse lines” in Ingham. Last thing I would like to mention about Queenslands sugarcane trains, quite a few of the new rebuilds of older locomotives are being equipped with remote control technology, so the driver can control the locomotive outside of the cab with a controller, useful for shunting especially around blind corners or areas where the driver cannot see very well while shunting. Also I would just like to mention the Kuranda Scenic Railway, which should’ve definitely gotten a mention in this video! It is an engineering marvel to say the least. They built the steep and mountainous railway line in incredibly harsh tropical rainforest conditions all the way back in 1891, carving 15 tunnels by hand, blasting away rock with dynamite and even having to dangle men from ropes to the cliff side to clear the way for the line. Over 30 people died to build the rather small length of 33 kilometres of track from Cairns to Kuranda. The construction of the railway has an incredibly fascinating history. Final thing I would like to mention… Queensland, despite operating on 3ft 6in (1,067mm) gauge has their own Beyer-Garratt too! It’s the Queensland Class, with 30 built from 1950-1951, measuring at 27.43m (90 ft) long. Only 1 of 30 is currently preserved. How those locomotives got around our narrow gauge network is beyond me! Anyway, great video. I really enjoyed it! It is awesome to see some representation for Australian railways.

Mate, to summarise that amount of our rail history in 19:26 minutes is a cracking (very good) effort worthy of 2 thumbs up 👍👍. New subby here as well.

I'm a blacksmith from Ipswich Queensland, two of my Anvils are from the Ipswich rail yards that were used to maintain all the steam locomotives in the south east. The rail yard is still in use today and has quite a decent collection of engines, some fully restored and others in various stages of restoration. Well worth the trip. Also if you ever visit, make sure to go to Dorrigo NSW, it holds the largest private collection of steam locomotives in the world. Hundreds of them back to back, it's a sight to behold.

As an Aussie who is a sectionmen in Australia, I really enjoyed this. Even a good shot of a freighter coming over the old bridge in wallerawang which is a part of the track I look after was pretty dam cool. Thanks mate👍

I know this video was mainly focussed on freight lines, but as a Sydneysider, I've got to shout out the Tangara trains on our local rail network! Not only are they two storeys for maximum passenger seatage (as opposed to standing), but also those seats can be swung to face either direction, so you're practically never riding backwards! Also, when riding with friends in an empty enough train car, you can actually swing the chairs to fit up to 6 people facing each other 😊

You need to come and take a look at the Zig Zag railway in the Blue Mountains about 100 miles west of Sydney. Thie line was the original NSW Railways line over the mountains which was bypassed in 1910 by a 10 tunnel deviation with an easier grade. due to inability of the single line with its switchbacks to handle increasded traffic. The line was abandoned and torn up after it closed and at one stage a roadway used the formation and the tunnels were used to grow mushrooms. The Zig Zag Railway Co-Op (non profit) obtained the Right Of Way and set about progressively relaying track - to 3' 6" gauge (originally it was standard gauge) because they were unbable to source any standard gauge locos or carriages, and running trains for many years. After a devasting bushfire wiped them out some years ago they have now returned to full operation between Clarence (the highest staion on the line) and bottom points where they meet the new main line. The Zig Zag uses ex QR steam lcos and an eclectic mix of carriages from Tasmania, Western Australia, and South Australia (from the old Broken Hill to Port Pirie narrow gage line of the SAR). There is also the 2' 6" gauge Puffing Billy Railway near Melbourne - another icon with its tiny tank engines. Queensland is also home to the oldest working steam loco in the southern hemisphere - A10 #6, built in 1865 by Neilsons in Glasgow and shipped out to Australia in pieces. The loco is presently stored, operational, at Ipswhich Workshops. There is also a very short 2" 6" gauge line at Walhalla in Eastern Victoria called The Goldfields Railway and another of similar name in central Victoria running on broad gauge. There are many heritage steam locos on the ast coast, mainly in NSW and Victoria, though there are 2 or three in Queensland inluding "The yank", an AC16 class obtained from the usa during WW2..

You know that driverless trains are common on metro rail throughout the world? I rode driverless units in Singapore a few weeks ago. Some important things are separation (grade separation, platform screen doors), and high-quality electronic signalling. I'd trust these to haul freight anywhere.

The ore railroads are in Western Australia where it is very desolate. The only people that live out there are people that work for the ore company's. They make the train up as we do & then switch it over to driverless. There are cameras on board with someone monitoring them from a desk. It works there because there is very little human contact. Great video

Here’s a fun factoid for you from an Australian, five SD50 units in the US were actually built in Australia. In 1982, Hamersley Iron ordered five SD50 units (6060-6064) from Clyde Engineering in South Australia, who were EMD’s Australian licensee. These ran in the Pilbara until 1995 before being shipped to the US, all eventually going to the Utah Railway.

There is one more motive power that i really want to point out. FMG in the early 2000s bought ex-UP SD90MAC-H2s, they're numbered in 900 series. They were rebuilt in NS's Juniata shops before going to FMG. I'm not sure if they're still using those or not. I believe they're still wearing their 6000hp 16-265H engines before being rebuilt with EMD's 710 engines at somepoint. My favorite was FMG 903, its an ex-UP 8539 which made a cameo in movie Unstoppable (2010)!

Great video. Never seen this channel before, not a railroad guy but a general infrastructure guy. Always been fascinated with the logistics of Australian cross-country transit. Thanks for making this.

I have had two connections with railways in Australia. My father was a clerk (and the last few years a manager) in the old SAR (South Australian Railways) until it was taken over by the Commonwealth Railways to create Australian National Railways. My earliest memory of him at work was when he was the configuration controller for The Overland (then a 7 days a week nightly service between Adelaide and Melbourne on the broad gauge network, jointly owned by SAR/ANR and Victorian Railways. It is now operated by the tourist train operator that runs the Indian Pacific, Ghan etc. My dad also work on establishing adding sitting cars to the Indian Pacific from Peterborough (one end of the broad gauge network from Adelaide) to Sydney, and eventually all the way from Sydney to Perth. He use to be the co-ordinator of the steam trains until they were handed over to specialist groups. South Australia also had three gauges. The SAR’s main line was broad gauge (as was the city network in Adelaide), standard gauge across the middle where the Indian Pacific (and formerly Trans Australia) ran and then on Eyre Peninsula an isolated narrow gauge network. I said I would never work in the railways sector, but I was an executive with the Federal and State Governments creating National Rail Corporation, to take over all their interstate freight operations and turn around the $350 million loss per year in the sector. I was the head of Internal Audit so I ended up seeing across the entire business. We did the largest order of locomotives in Australia, ordering 120 units which made up most of the fleet until it was sold (now Pacific National). You can see these units pulling the Indian Pacific and The Ghan on contract to the private tourist train operator. One of the problems with getting the engines was weight limitations. Apart from some of the coal network in NSW, the tracks have lower weight limitations than say the USA. There are a couple of oddities. The government control track maintenance and service allocation provider has some network in NSW which does allow the heavier tracks for the Hunter Valley Coal to the Port of Newcastle which is a very complex network. In the end at NRC we decided not to purchases heavier engines for these tracks as it meant isolating locomotives to a particular area. As the various tracks in the Pilbara Region are developed and owned by the mining companies, and as you mentioned is an isolated system from any of the rest of the national system meant they built their track for heavier engines and rolling stock so are able to pretty much purchase off the locomotive manufactures in the USA catalogue! The other interesting part of working at NRC was the Federal Government project we were funded to undertake which was transforming the Melbourne to Adelaide route from broad gauge to standard gauge (which a different track our of Melbourne via Geelong and then getting back to the old mainline track). This created some challenge for passenger services in Adelaide which until recently their city network was Broad gauge (if I recall there was talk of when they were electrifying the network they would also convert to standard gauge, but I don’t know if that happened) and also in Melbourne more with their regional intercity network. I travelled on the old Ghan train, which was a broad gauge sit up passenger cars from Adelaide to Port Pirie (which was in motor cars - called the Blue Bird fleet), change their for an other sit up train (locomotive pulled) from Port Pirie to Oodnadatta, and then change to a narrow gauge network sleeper train from their to Alice Springs. I did this trip before they opened the standard gauge track from north west of Port Augusta on the Trans Australia track directly to Alice Springs and using similar carriages you see today (before the many modifications the private operator made). Whilst I was a kid/youth when my father was working at SAR/ANR a lot of our holidays were travelling interstate on various trains (The Overland - to Melbourne, the day train to Sydney etc). One thing missed is in the Blue Mountains out from Sydney is the steepest railway in the world. It is not that long, now is a tourist train, but originally was for coal. scenicworld.com.au/experience/scenic-railway

Thanks for an interesting video about Australian railways. Very enjoyable to watch. I am a locomotive engineer here in Australia. My career spans from working on the New South Wales Railway in the late seventies, eighties and nineties. I am currently working with Rio Tinto. I saw the introduction of the driverless trains. I worked many autonomous test trains, testing the driving strategies. The driving strategies were developed with locomotive engineers giving feedback on each of the test runs. The autonomous trains are working well. We have locomotive engineers, who go out to attend the autonomous trains. If they have any technical issues. We still have many human driven trains. Fuel trains, maintenance of way trains. We also drive the iron ore trains for training and qualification purposes on the various routes. If you or your viewers want to know more about Australian railways? Or the autonomous trains where I work. Please let me know.

Tons of American and European train videos, but Australian train videos? Watching something about Australia is like roaming around in heaven, thanks for this great video

I live in australia and I must say this is the most accurate train vid of australian trains to date. Excellent, excellent video, keep the good work.

Congratulations! Like many of the viewers who’ve commented below, I was greatly impressed by your knowledge of Australian railways. You’ve obviously researched the subject extensively, and your passion comes through loud and clear. Well done! Just one friendly word by way of correction: Garratt is pronounced like “carrot” - not “Ger-rat”. Anyway, thanks for a great video, and keep up the excellent work!

Wow! Great documentary, loved this. Thanks for showing us.

They ran a remote train on a short hop between Railton and Devonport, Tasmania carrying cement to port. A few years ago, it decided to go rogue and had to be intentionally derailed in the middle of town to prevent carnage at the terminus.

Just another Australian here to say what a great job you did with this video. I am not a 'train guy', but do have an interest in rail & I certainly learnt a lot from this. Excellent.

These Australians are too smart

This is an amazing video! Australia is very interesting when it comes to railroading

This is a breath of fresh air. With so much UK and USA railway information about, it can be hard to pin down a good understanding of something in my own backyard. Coal train regularly pass through my hometown in QLD, on the aforementioned narrow-gauge network. These mostly haul grain and coal.

Even know this is more of an overview. This is definitely the most in-depth video about most of the rails you've covered. Be awesome if you'd do more! 6042 may still be in storage but I've had the pleasure of standing on the foot plate of 6029 just before she went through her trials to get back out there. Her and 3801 was a goddamn impressive sight to see thundering along side by side, only thing that could top that might be a big boy...maybe

Been waiting for this video for a while! you never disappoint!

Thanks for the interest in our railways, and great video! And it's always fun to hear people who haven't grown up with them trying to pronounce Australian place names. I'm sure you have a similar experience with American place names.

7:54 703 was retired and preserved at the national railway museum at Pt Adelaide 704 was preserved at the SteamRanger heritage railway 702 was scrapped And 701 was now named after his grace Tailem bend

What a great video. Lots of good, accurate information. Thank you for all of the work that you put into this. Thumbs up.

Great overview of our rail network, you did better than some locals 👍

I got to go to Bunderburg on the east coast. Huge sugar cane area. They use some small gauge trains to haul the crop to the sugar mill. the molasses is piped next door to the rum factory. Such a cool network.

I'm not even a big railfan and found this video very interesting and cool. Nice work!

Thank you for editing this video, as it's more work than people realize. Very well researched, with many relevant clips inserted to make it interesting.

Loved the video, amazingly informative.

I've had a serious interest in transport since joining the London Underground in 1976. I think this is an excellent introduction and summary of Australian railways. Good work.

Fantastic Video Man 😎

This was fantastic to watch !

Absolutely spot on. Australian steam locomotive design was very much a fusion on American and British designs.

That was interesting, nicely put together!

16:53 that made me burst out laughing. Convict powered rail, love it. Great video.

Visited Fremantle in 87 while in the US Navy and loved it. Friendliest people I met while on WESTPAC. We drank to the Queen! Love from Long Island NY USA. New Sub.

Learning new things is always fun, thank you very much.

Dear to my heart - my GGG Grandfather came to Australia in the 1850s as a Sapper (Engineer) in the Military, and surveyed what is now known as the Zigzag railway (so named because it would change direction to work it's way up a mountain range) through the Blue Mountains west of Sydney. He went on to Survey much of New South Wales' rail network. His son was Chief Clerk (i.e.. CFO) of the NSW Railways. Early in my career I was involved in some of the earliest work on autonomous vehicles (Mine Haul Trucks, not Trains) with Rio Tinto.

Left hand driver stands is standard practice in Australia; a pommy (UK) railway practice. Queensland and the Pilbara have adopted right hand stands. There are a few right hand stands in NSW, however, it is found on locos that have come from 'foreign' areas (Europe; MZs and Queensland; 2800s/3200s and 423s)

"convict-powered tram way" might just be the most australian thing ever.

Just found your channel thru this video, cant wait for more!

Excellent, thanks for this

I had never put into perspective how unique our railways are! And a sidenote; this video taught me things I didn’t even know about Australian trains, cheers for uploading.

Couldn't agree more! It was a pleasant surprise to watch.

I absolutely loved your intro and I deeply appreciate your broad perspective on this world. Well done sir!

Great video! Thanks! I live in geelong an hour from Melbourne. Every 2 years in March the Steamrail has their workshops open, it's an amazing day of up close to steam! Well worth checking out if you're around. Liked and subbed Skippy, cheers

What a beautiful vid you made here! Thanks, appreciate it a lot 👍 Greets from the Netherlands, from the other side, TW.

What a really interesting and informative video. Well done, and thanks.

Great video and very informative.

really well researched video, as an Aussie I learned a lot! My favourite weird railway fact that wasn't mentioned is that Queensland is so dedicated to the narrow gauge they developed the fastest 3"6' train in the world, the Tilt Train. It also features a street running section in Rockhampton which is a unique sight.

Thank you for the wonderful story of Australian Railways. Brought a few tears to my eyes, because of the beautiful countryside that I miss, being back in the UK.

Thanks for the great vid and info 👍🏼👍🏼

What a great video! You've described our railways extremely accurately, which is sometimes rare to see from an overseas perspective.

Brilliant. . Thank you Mate . 👍👍

Excellent Information shared here. Thanks and God Bless.

As someone who does consulting work for BHP WAIO Rail I enjoyed this. I even recognised one of the maintenance facilities at Nelson Point (Port Hedland). Nice one!

Great video, thanks!

You forgot about WA's own NG Network! Basically, apart from the Pilbara iron ore lines, we also had the WAGR (West Australian Government Railways) GSR (Great Southern) and MRWA (Midland Railway of WA) The GSR was merged into the WAGR early on and ran to albany, hence the old NG mainline's nickname "The Great Southern" The MRWA however, was regarded as WA's only privately run main line network which had roughly 4 classes of steam engines, and 3 classes of diesels. What made the railway unique in WA is the fact that only 1 of it's steam engines still exists in preservation today, all the others being scrapped. Perth also has a variety of trains and lines due to our isolation from over east. sure, the passenger EMU's used aren't exactly the most diverse, but the freight network on the otherhand has quite the array of different engines. We also have our only preserved line using steam engines in the winter months - the hotham valley. The reason why we don't run steam in summer is because Australia is prone to becoming like a desert in the heat, and we don't have to deal with snow in winter either, allowing better opportunity for steam operations

Nice video once again, Keep up the good work.

Fascinating vidya , as always sir! Quite interesting, and well narrated!

Great video. The different gauges in Australia was best described by American writer Mark Twain when travelling between Sydney and Melbourne. Having to change trains at Albury on the New South Wales/Victorian border. "Now comes a singular thing, the oddest thing, the strangest thing, the most unaccountable marvel that Australia can show," he wrote. "At the frontier between NSW and Victoria our multitude of passengers were routed out of their snug beds by lantern light in the morning in the biting cold to change cars. Think of the paralysis of intellect that gave that idea birth, imagine the boulder it emerged from, on some petrified legislator's shoulders."

Cool video. I note that Peterborough was mentioned due to having all 3 gauges, but up until the early '70s the break of gauge from broad gauge to narrow gauge was located at Terowie, which is about 15 miles south of Peterborough. IMHO the most interesting thing about Terowie is that it was where General MacArthur gave his famous "I shall return" speech during WWII.

Great video. It expanded my mind.

Back in 2007, I used the driverless tube in Turin. Seemed to work great

I really appreciated the incredible depth and width of knowledge in this video. As there always are small points to mention, The capital city of Victoria (Melbourne) is locally pronounced 'Melbn' with no long syllables.

Thank you I really enjoyed this, I live in the outback of Western Australia. Would love to see more as there is so much going on over here in transport. *you are one of the few that did his home work before posting.

this was fantastic to watch , i live here and there is so much to learn!

Very well researched and the covering of the main topics. Sydney NSW also has had driverless "Metro" passenger trains running for some time now with the network expanding. The Pilbara ore trains were also "Driver Only" for a number of years before technology made the driver redundant. Like in North America we have double stacked container trains running across from Goobang Junction NSW to Perth WA, there are many on my You Tube site. Just love the American pronunciation of some Australian names, left me laughing. Great work and thank you.😉

As an aussie, that was a damn good summary of railway history here. Only think I will add is on the topic of locally sourcing trains. Strangely, locomotives in particular have been built almost exclusively locally with the occasional exceptions. Some good examples of this is Clyde engineering, who build thousands of locos for almost every state under license from EMD. They basically use EMD parts but in locally designed bodies that in effect resemble US EMD products built to the Australian loading gauge (effectively longer and lower), including the brilliant AT26C CL class (SD40 equipment in a streamlined cab with angled roofing), and younger JT26C-2SS boxcabs, as well as the spectacular GT26C C class. Clyde was bought by Downer EDI in the 90s who made some brilliant stretched and lowered SD70ACes (GT46C-ACe) as well as some lighter 3000hp narrow gauge units for multiple companies in QLD and WA, although they ceased production and now similar products are imported from PR in the US (interestingly using the EDI design as a base). Theres also UGL Rail who have built around 200 4000hp C44aci locos under license from GE, and these locos form the backbone of the mainline standard gauge network along with some older Cv40-9i models.

Whoa, that's interesting! Those Distances must be absolutely Mindboggling! Since a few Years we've got automatically Gauge changeing Trains here in Switzerland. They switch from 1000mm Narrowgauge to 1435mm Standardgauge and back. That Technology was created to get a Trainline from Luzern to Montreux without having to change Trains twice. Luzern-Interlaken is Narrowgauge with Sections of Cogwheel assistance, Interlaken-Zweisimmen is Standardgauge and Zweisimmen-Montreux is Narrowgauge again. They only have to put another Locomotive on in Front between Zweisimmen and Montreux, because it runs on 900V DC, whilst Luzern-Interlaken-Zweisimmen runs the usual, in europe widely used Standardcurrent of 15'000V AC at 15.6Hz Another speciality can be seen in Graubünden, eastern Switzerland, where there are Sections of Track running a 3-Rail-Setup, so Narrow- and Standardgauge Trains can use the same Track. It's also pretty common in Europe to have Locos capable of changing to multiple different currentsystems on the fly. It makes me often wonder why nobody else uses these Technologies, since they are available and running smoothly...

Outstanding knowledge of Australia from an American. And I'm not just taking about the train knowledge. Footage, music, it was all brilliant.

Great video keep them coming

I worked at Sigra rolling stock components in Penrith, Sydney for 11 years as the maintnance/fabrication man. I was pleased to see one of our brake hoses @10:59. I built the automated machine that cuts the hoses to length before crimping. Very well put together video, thanks.

Really cool video and hope you get well soon.

As an Australian who knows nothing about trains this is an awesome video and I appreciate how in-depth you went

Regarding the automation of trains: Honestly, if anything happens to a freight train, a driver can't do much other than a full brake application either. With the enormous distances freight trains require to stop, it's usually impossible to stop before hitting an obstacle. Further, things like line speeds and block operation are either set and don't change or are done by the signaller, the driver really just more or less blindly follows the signals they're given. And all that can be transmitted via some sort of digital transmission to a computer just as well as via marker boards and light signals to a driver. Systems that continuously supervise a train's position and speed and display continuously updated speed information to be displayed directly in the cab, like the German LZB or the French TVM, and now the new ETCS have been around since the late 1970s. So, really, the technological building blocks have been there for quite a while. The only thing preventing fully automated operation here in Europe are trust issues and liability laws... 😃

Rio Tinto now has a fully automatic electric Iron Ore railway that requires no diesel power or even external electrical power as it uses the power of gravity to charge batteries on board while running full ore trains to port and uses that battery power to haul the empty train back result in a small surplus of power back at the mine. It is nicknamed the infinity train as it can technically run forever.

We run driverless trains from western Sydney into the city and are expanding the network. The Metro is quick, efficient and has never had an accident to date.

As a Victorian and having worked with the Metro railway system it is sad to see that the state government opted for CCP developed and built trains for our suburban railway system.

For a video by a non-Australian, this was excellently done. I live on the Warrnambool line and was surprised to hear that it was still steam-driven until 2005. And you're right, this is just the tip of the iceberg. I hope to see more of your videos on other aspects of Australian rail.

I went to Sydney back in 2005 and found that they have a subway that is heavy rail like a commuter train that goes through the city and is also a main line train travel also through the city and country side. i said that it's crazy. Like Having the The New York subway and NS/ CSX going through mid-town Manhattan. Great video Cheers mate!😃

btw nice video narration I love your channel keep up the hard work

Thanks I learnt from this info I am a very proud Aussie

If you want some coffee and waffles on an active fright line. Head to Spring Bluff in Toowoomba. It's a picturesque spot known for its beautifully landscaped gardens and historic railway station.

Great video..... One of the BHP train was a run away and had to be derailed

Wow, those folks in Australia do have some unique train equipment. I also want to visit one day. Thanks!
