    Was in the Hunter Valley 2 weeks ago, and the Video 📹 was a reminder how that the Railways are the most practical to shift the Coal to the Port in Newcastle..

      Coal and grain as well. Given the right patting and infrastructure everything just works.

      As a kiwi 🥝 living by the NI MT, the North Island Main Trunk Railway 🛤 tracks ,also as I Visted W A and N S W, therefore saw 👀 massive amounts of Freight Movements, and to Honest if isn't for your videos, and the educational process that you provided, alas I would have been none the wiser, so thanks very much...

    Those dedicated tracks behind the Maitland-bound platform aren't just for coal, they're also for wheat and other cereal crops, but that's a continuing story(cereal - serial! LOL) and there is a "grain" of truth there! LOL again!

      @@youtubeviewer7030 The line could theoretically be used for long-distance passenger trains but the sole use is coal and grain trains. XPTs going to Werris Creek to split for Armidale or Moree, or up to Kempsey will use the regular passenger line.

    Interesting wiper action on those locos. The yellow livery rather shows the dirt doesn't it.
    4:47 is an impressive load for one loco. Ah, there's another one assisting in rear.

      There are a couple of trains that require push pull. I don't know much but I can only assume there is no bubble loop for loading.

    Thornton railway station is located on the Main Northern line in New South Wales, Australia. It serves Thornton in the eastern suburbs of Maitland opening in 1913.
    The original station opened on 1 August 1871 as Woodford and was renamed in 1887 to avoid confusion with Woodford station in the Blue Mountains. The line from Tarro was duplicated in 1880 and quadrupled in February 1913 when the current station opened.
    To the south-west of the station, the Bloomfield Colliery branches off.

    Those trains may be going "lickety-split" on the way to Maitland and beyond, but their speed will be tempered somewhat when they come back to Port Waratah fully loaded(must be hard traveling with a split lickety! LOL).
