The rail lines use to allow the museum to bring it two steam locomotives 3830 and3265 to the site during summer. Before the railway bridge was condemned to heavy loads
It's good that some of the rails leading out of the museum are still there, but I'd like to see them do a bit more to better preserve them, enough so that you could still run a locomotive or railcar to and fro. Not that you ever would, but "just in case" they needed to move the locomotive or any other rail car in or out of the museum. Plus it's preserving the areas history and tells a story.
@@rakeau the rail line has been cut up at the junction near the mortuary station And the railway bridge next to the ABC building has been condemned for locomotives after the museum did not want to pay to repair the bridge. Unfortunately no trains will ever run down that line
@@RowanMangion1976 Yes, I'm sure there's many reasons, but just .. I dunno, people just seem to have a pretty poor stance towards preservation generally .. Even when we're talking about a museum.
Grew up with the PHM..it was amazing in 2000 during Sydney Olympics but I don't get what the "cultural" side is about now..I grew up in Sydney and live a long way away now so please explain if you're able to
MAAS was the overarching name for the organisation that ran the Powerhouse Museum in Ultimo, so in a way yes, but nowadays, the branding is all “Powerhouse”, including for its Castle Hill and Parramatta sites
I work at the powerhouse 2016-2018 other then the construction wall it doesn’t look like much has changed exterior yet but it is government so work is always slow.
@@neil2402 That was the Museum of Applied Arts And Sciences my brothers, cousins and myself would go to in the 1960's. We loved that museum. Local kids were fascinated by the exhibits there. Good times were had by inquisitive young minds.
I wish these developers would heed, and learn from the old adage, *"If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"* There was *NOTHING WRONG* with the Powerhouse Museum *AS IT WAS!*

The contents of the museum are warehoused at Castle Hill. Cheers!
Was the best place to go for a school excursion many many years ago ! ❤
Good work, love your channel! Do you know whether the extension of Goods Line is incorporated into the construction of the new PHM.
Thanks for the Video - Shared/Scheduled
My brother and I , and mates use to go every few months for a day out ,short trip from Bondi for us in the 70s

@ I agree when I worked at the powerhouse when you asked some questions you were told not to ask again because the answer embarrassed the museum
They should build a live music venue in there

Was the old building the one that used to be called the "Museum of Applied Atrs and Sciences?"

Or are you referring to the "technology museum" in Harris St that I used to love visiting as a kid?

Up goes the Chinese units while the PHM is taken to over developed Parramatta
If I'm not mistaken, I believe that site was where the old AML&F Woolstore building burnt in a huge fire in July 1992.
