An amazing view which puts in perspective the blood sweat and tears of the original railway construction workers. Maintaining all that track is a tribute to the WGR volunteers too!

Lovely view

I noticed that just leaving the yard that you had a old QR DH shunting loco and i guess it's getting converted to the 2ft 6 gauge track. Most of the old DH shunting locos have now been converted to pulling sugar cane wagons for various sugar mills in Qld.

One of the most interesting little towns I reckon, Walhalla. Completely unrelated to the railway but my personal highlight of the town is that it marks the start of the 700km Australian Alps Walking Track all the way up to Canberra, would love to give it a shot some day. Beautiful part of the world!

Walked the railway line from Moe in 1960 with a schoolmate . Took us 1 & half days to get to Walhalla. Camped near the big bend tunnel on the Thompson. Great to see the train recreated and would be nice for track to go back to Erica. A credit due to all volunteers .😁

been going to Walhalla for over 60 years,been on this train a few times,never boring,last time was 4 years ago ,it was snowing when we drove up there ,love Walhalla.IB

This looks so much like a model, I wasn't sure how big it was! Until I saw the description I was trying to figure out if it was garden scale or something. Nice work!

You have a great life & a Wonderful Job , I used to love going up to Walhalla by car when I was in Primary School on weekends with my family , I have forgotten how Beautiful the Australian Bush looked , when you could travel at a slower speed , this little railway is a great way to see what most folk miss on a daily basis . Thank you for sharing your work area's ....

This spectacular landscape is a pleasure in my eyes. Blessed be the people who did that line, and those who take care for it, so we can admire its beauty. Thank you.

I remember when I came here in 2019 on my holidays. The train ride was the first thing I did. Tons of people playing in the water under the big train bridge and some on shore taking snaps of the train. Was a fun day before the forest fires started. Thanks for this upload! brings back nostalgia :)

2ft,6'' gauge,used in hilly type country like puffing billy, beech forest line in the Otways, the diversity of your videos makes them even more interesting

Such a magnificent perseptive view that does this short line un-measurable justice. I'd look forward to a similar front view of PB. It would be a long trip but well worth watching:)

Really nice scenery, both directions! Thanks for sharing, as always.

Marvellous trip through a favourite part of the world - from long ago. Another item for the Bucket List! …. Thank you

NIce ride in the country.

I actually never would’ve guessed someone had footage of this railway let alone a drivers view 😮

I remember going on here 10yrs ago forgot how narrow and steep it was. Your driving all over the state cool never a dull moment

When I was 16 the track used to go from the Thompson river towards Walhalla for around 1.5km then stop and the train would reverse back, my father and I got off the train and walked the remnants of the old line back into Walhalla which back then was overgrown with shrubs and ferns, it's amazing to see how far the volunteers have come with restoring the line, and how amazing would it be if one day the line can be restored all the way to Moe! It would be a fantastic trip. Have they got a steam loco on this line yet? I must get back up and check it all out.

Great vid! Been there quite a bit over the years! Beautiful country!

I just camped at Walhalla last Wednesday, bloody cold, great that the camp ground is now open😅.

I,m trying to imagine the 1st surveyors trying to plot the track !

The last , and only time, I've visited Walhalla was in November 1968.btw Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, enjoyed that.

Never been on this train, although heard ALOT about it. This has given me the incentive to drive there to get on the train

When I first saw the title, I thought of Walhalla South Carolina in the US. Scenery around that area is similar in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This was really cool to see.

Fantastic journey,some of my family past generations actually worked in the mine and hotel when the mine was a going concern

Very creatively built line. However a perfect example of spending a long time talking about it and not doing it until it was too late and the town was already on the way out.

Wery beautiful railroad trip!😃👍

The 2' 6" railway lines similar as Puffy Billy Steam train? Beautiful video between Walhalla and Thompson lines all the way amazing adventure!! Best country Gippsland in Victoria!! I am surprised thought to be short ride but does long ride perfectly railways!! Great video thanks!! 😉👌🚂

What a journey! I watched it at 1.35 speed. The variety of trees and plants growing alonside the creek is incredible. Like those palms or ferns at 16:28

It really is a picturesque setting for an historic railway. When was this line first built?........

Isn’t it crazy how a normal passenger steam train used to go there, the drivers would of probably marvelled at the scenery there!

I really enjoy your videos. Have you considered driver view videos from a Sugar Cane Railway. There is some beautiful scenery in the tropics 🍍

A scenic railway, as good as the Alishan Forest Railway

What a great video! The views are magnificent. I was impressed with the engineering of the track; the grade was nice and level through the terrain, so the engine worked but did not labor.

Love it.

Great video! :)

Love your videos! Wanted to sit next to you in the loco:)

Its a beautiful railway. Unfortunately i missed out on hearing the crisp bark of an NA bouncing of the hills when one spent some time there in recent years.

Foarte frumos!🙏

i have been on this one an awsome ride

@8:30 happy creek station a request stop

This was something else, Is there any video of back in the day when this line ran gold, freight or passengers? Thanks for taking us along!

Travelled on this about 5 years ago, magnificent experience. Are they really working on relaying the track back towards Erica? That would be amazing, even more back to Moe but that would be a pipe dream. Keep them coming.🇦🇺

I thought you meant Walhalla South Carolina! Otherwise known as HogWalla.

Putty Cat goes it again

I'm not a fan of narrow gauge railways however this IS the most scenic railway in the southern hemisphere. So beautiful it makes you want to walk along the line. So I believe this line used to continue to Moe?

What is the grade on this railroad? This would make a good tourist line too. When I saw the video I that it was in South Carolina too.

Do you drive it or just recording, -it must be hard to remember how to drive all the trains

Hi,What is the purpose of thıs railway? Greetıngs from Turkıye
