No chance of this ever being re-opened, at present there is a new rail link (freight only) being built to the west of this line from Melbourne to South-East Qld, through Albury, Narrabri, Goondiwindi and ending at Kaguru where it meets up with the Coastal line. The Western route makes far more sense as a lot of the route is very flat and towns are few and far between.

If anyone is interested in doing a similar trip to check out the same railway infrastructure do yourself a favour, take a half day off this line and check out the Railway viaduct in the town of Manilla 45ks Northwest of Tamworth. It is now heritage listed. Guyra cold? not wrong there. Pulled up 3-4 years ago in July, got out of my car and there was some white flakes floating around.

Use German siemens trains, they are small and tilt in sharp bends to go fast. I have been on many. They can be the size of a few busses and diesel electric.
@johannusverhoeff49119 ай бұрын
I hope it will not become a bike trail. It is about time Australia makes small high speed light tilt trains serve the little towns. It is an insult to the rail workers to turn these tracks into bike paths, for the sake of a fade

The captioning tells the story very plainly. Without a rail service, towns like Tenterfield and Armadale will die off and become *ghost towns* but state governments of both parties couldn't give a shit about any rail services beyond Newcastle or Wollongong.

Sorry 30 years after the rail closed down the City of Armidale (20,000) and Tenterfield are doing fine, there is also a major highway (New England). All the Towns and Cities on the New England Highway and other major routes are doing fine.

Great job. Really enjoyed this documentary. If they maintained this track and had this line prepped for train services to Brisbane, this may not be too bad to use for the high speed rail link that the government is proposing. Also if any bushfires occur around the corridor of the current Main North Line through Coffs Harbour and Lismore, this line would serve as an alternate route for train services.

Great Video Lawrence, the question u asked in regards to the markers and round little footings with numbers, don't quote me but I'm of the opinion the markers may be a half Km Peg or land mark for the train drivers to gauge them in distance to the next Signalling location but I believe the drivers would of been using safeworking of staff and ticket or pilot staff working in those days on single line, the other round little footings with numbers I believe could be track alignment survey markers but I'm not completely sure.. what ever they were it was a great video like walking down memory lane 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
