Precious film. Thanks for posting. I recognise some locations but wish more sections of track could be identified with captions. And I’m sure the newer editing programs could restore somewhat the dark footage.
you might be talking about somthing else but i know steamrail i think it is has a swingdoor tait but they have to restore it due to people lighting it on fire in the night
I really enjoyed that 30 minutes and I am not even a steam fan, great video of VR in the past.

thanks Jim, these are sights never again to be seen
Some precious memories there, especially the Canadian Red D3 639 in action. Just a shame so much image quality has deteriorated on the film.
I remember seeing some of the K class footage on Scott McGregors Railway Adventures when i was really little
Well picked up, I think he used some of my footage around Eildon Weir, a long time ago, cheers, Jim
Yes Scott borrowed my footage for his doco... well spotted
at 8:44 the music is Pietro Mascagni - Cavalleria rusticana: Intermezzo
Is some of that footage the Wodonga - Cudgewa line? Such a shame that line got closed.
Great footage, thanks for posting!
Nice one.. thanks
Thankyou!
Brilliant
Thanks for that, glad you enjoyed it..
What level crossing at 18 55 . Is it on the South Gippsland line ? Cranbourne? Lang Lang?
Cranborne Crossing the DERM
Wow thanks . Looks very different today . When was this filmed and what other crossings were in it ?
Yeah very different, i didn't pick it.I was on the last Derm to go across there when 55rm went up to SGR,i assume it left by road.
That was at Cranbourne on election day 1975 I think, Cheers Jim
Yes Cranbourne, I can see the white weatherboard house my mate now lives in.
Great video, what ever happened to all the swingdoor rolling stock???
