i was still catching the 7:27 from goodna in 1996 (it ran from redbank, to bowen hills, express from corinda to indooroopilli, then from indooroopilly to roma street@@crankycow35098
This is a ripper of a You Tube video Andrew, thank you muchly for sharing. Only wish I'd had the foresight to photograph and film much of this sort of stuff back in those days.
I think the EMUs would still be quite well-recognised for their rather quirky characteristics, such as all the double-pane side windows with the ventilation windows at the top which slant slightly upwards. I also think they benefit over the new trains with a few respects. I don't really like the fact that there are no doors between carriages on the new ones as I think that having doors between carriages provides better noise reduction.
difference in safety standards when you see the 1500s with no railing and the 2100s with railing. kinda epic to see the 3900s dont really see any of em anymore. i still see 3500s and the newer 3700s and 3800s but yeah no 3900s
I've been in Brisbane 28 years.The emu trains are by far the best looking
I remember these grey ones when I was a kid. My Grandma lived near a station and I would always hear the distinctive whine. Great memories.
aw man i miss the EMU's nowadays considering they dont operate much anymore but these things were awesome back in the day :)
and i also wonder when the last diesel locomotive passenger train last went in service?
@@crankycow35098 I think about 1994

OMG, the blue and green fabric inside the EMU's back then............gee, talk about a flashback, luv it!!
Look out for Brisbane part 2 just after Christmas with more stuff out in the Suburbs including Rosewood pre electrification.
Sounds beaut, can't wait mate.
Andrew Surgenor have you gotany more videos coming out, these videos are sooo good
@@davom9069 Queensland Coal Trains 1999 in the next few weeks. Cairns to Forsayth mixed next week
Amazing Old Footage,
Thank you
An ICE set coupled with an EMU set at 28:41.
This was common on The Gympie trains.
Can’t believe that what your standing on at Victoria Park is now the Intercity Bypass now at the end
Beautiful blue and green coloured seating on the EMU's in the 90's. Sad I was a child to not experience this era.
Nice I liked it when the emus where gray
I remember those days in Caboolture wow I was only 5
Subbed. These videos are fantastic!
Great footage, just wish there were names of the locations 🥲
Great footage, awesome video

I think you are right re inter car doors. Probably cost saving!
I remember the silver sets
❤
0:50 that train is looking cool
ICE train
So weird that this is what it all looked like a year before i was born
A lot has changed
Good to see back in 92 they had the ICE/EMU Hybrid, could I guess it was going to Yandina or Cooroy
Cooroy I think.
Cheers for that :)
Wow!! A great piece of old QR :-D

The old Park Road station.
