Only 90 minutes in but enjoying it so far. Must have been very exasperating! By the way, you’ve labelled Normanhurst Station twice. The first one (1:00:40) is actually Thornleigh. Thanks for posting!

Love these videos! It would appear from this, & lots of others though that the state of freight locos is poor indeed. So much so that crews regularly set sail with extras, anticipating the inevitable break downs, as in this case, 5 minutes out of the yard.

I like these vids a lot. I wanted to be a freight train driver (or Goods train driver as I remember them) in my younger days but it never eventuated. My only grumble about them is the constant screeching noise of the wheels as the train goes left or right. Why does this happen and what can be done to fix the problem? I note the people in the units at 51:10 and elsewhere thoughtout the vid would be ropeable hearing that noise every time a train goes by

What a great trip.😁 I have never seen such a good camera angle used on a steam engine, and the views were stunning. I hope a few people from overseas see this, it really painta Australia in a good light. Well done.😊

42 Class was a GM 16 cylinder, 2 stroke diesel, twin roots blowers, 4 exhaust valve per head/cylinder and intake ports on the cylinder liners. From memory about 2000hp at around 950 rpm?? I used to work at the Diesel Annexe at Chullora Loco, we rebuilt GMs and Alco 12 cylinder but that was back in the '80s, possibly all gone now that everything has been sold off to the highest donor.

Hi, What was this train? I'm keen to know what it's hauling, that way I can get an idea of the performance. The loco with a 3 or 4 cars pass will perform almost like a DMU & climb hills very smartly. Typical pass, 5-7 cars a good deal slower. 1 loco on a 10 -15 car freight or 2 hauling double that (a typical fraight in they days of these locos), much slower again.

Can't block a pas service for a freight train lol Between Campbelltown and Goulburn is the worst for pas services, intermodal freight and coal/ wheaties. There's no room to run trains around, on either the up or down, and the track is main line into and out of both Sydney and inner harbour/ Wollongong. It's shit lol.
