Railway Panorama No1
Trains look great running beside the water and the first scenes on this video are in 1989 near Hawkesbury River Station, the Hawkesbury River bridge, and beside Brisbane Water at Woy Woy and Gosford. Featured are electric interurbans both double and single deckers, 46 class and 86 class electric locos, including bicentennial, on freights with double and triple heading and the XPT, plus brief views of the local maritime activity.
The next location is Cowan Bank and Boronia No 1 Tunnel area, as electric locos earn their keep hauling heavy freights up the steep grades, or ease them down on their regenerative brakes, while interurbans glide by effortlessly. Next we move to diesel territory, the main southern line, firstly at Menangle, then near Douglas Park and Picton as GM power in the form of 422 class, double 81 class, 81 + Victorian C, and G class alone move the Canberra Express, wheat trains and general goods through picturesque scenery. An up XPT passes a down freighter on an S curve.
For a section on nostalgia, its on to Young where this delightful station is now served by a road coach, while Cootamundra West, a large, beautiful but abandoned station is looked at in some detail, then Cootamundra and Wagga Wagga station with its beautiful garden. A good look at the quite spectacular process of thermite welding of rail follows, then, just west of Murrumburrah, the Intercapital Daylight with 80 and Bicentennial 81 locos, weaves its way through the picturesque countryside.
The video concludes with the west, at Glenbrook Gorge and Katoomba with Flying Scotsman and 3801 as the Scotsman departs for Western Australia. PQ A and B
