Fantastic footage Colin, a wonderful line and i have had the chance to drive Y133 back 5 years ago on a driver experience. Was an awesome experience and a great line, an awesome day out. Great fun driving the Y too.
Sounds like you had a great time. Glad you enjoyed the video 👍🙂

Putty Cat, you have done yourself well by putting out great Videos, Thank You
Thank you. I am very happy you enjoy them 👍 😀
Good film work. Here is your next mission agent 667: Make a 3ft 6 inch gauge trolley ,mount a camera and travel the l ength of thd Tasmanian North East railway from Coldwater Creek to Scottsdale. Take a chain saw you may need it. The last but nearly forgotten adventurous abandon line in Tasmania. Check out the history of Denison Gorge and ARHS publication of Jim Stokes.
There is some beautiful scenery along the lines, open and closed down in tassie. You never know what might appear here in the future with a bit of luck. 👍😀
Ah, we got it right this time!
Phewww 😀👌
@neilforbes416 just one of those accidents

@neilforbes416 it happens

Not much of Maldon Jct. left, it would make a great extension to Guildford and run a DERM to it.:)
That sounds like an idea 👍😊
That looked like a great trip what method of safeworking on that line seemed to be a signalman at the end grab a staff
Train staff and ticket is the safe working system in use 👍😀
One day the Maryborough-Castlemaine line should reopen for a Geelong-Ballarat-Bendigo service
We will have to see what the future holds 🤔👍😊
@@driver667The new Premier has plans, just as soon as she cancels the Suburban Rail Loop.

No point.
The bus takes if you a lucky one person.
Here is a more social and economic plan. Convert Maryborough to Ballarat standard gauge therefore you have a triangle which links Geelong, Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne ,Sydney.
Now Maryborough is one very poor town, hardly a service town. So construct a modern railway workshop where green carded wagons can be taken, standard gauge locomotives serviced, ABCDE exams and overhaul. Jobs, training, engineering, education, income (no more dole) , personal achievement, sense of worth. Jobs and careers. So cut out wagons or locos out at Ararat off the interstate trains and send them to Maryborough. Repaired, wheel turning etc, then back into the system via Ballarat and Geelong and Vicki verka. No competition from BRW Bendigo as they are all broad gauge and gauge locked. Gee if the tax payer paid $420 million for Mildura conversion (using existing timber sleeper), about $1000 per metre then a railway workshop may actually return a profit.
20:01 Geez! Was that a snail I just saw zip past this train? LOL (Dang I wish the emoticons would work!)
It just may have been 🐌🐌👍😊
@@driver667 Look! Down on the ground! Is it an ant?, Is it a slug? No! it's *SUPERSNAIL!* LOL🤣

@@neilforbes416 you're..........not..........wrong..........there..........😄
before the driver continued up along the platform, did he hand over the staff to the station master to show the line is clear?
He handed it up to the signalman at Castlemaine 👍😊
