did the train ran past Rookwood cemetery? I drive past that section of road once a week, the tracks ran parallel to the A3 and had overhead wires, but not the Bankstown line track. Presume some parts of the Goods line
Hi Woodland26. It doesn't run past Rookwood but it goes under the Hume hwy at chullora and briefly the A3 at 35:41 but then heads left, so doesn't run up to the Cemetery. Thanks for watching
@@trainspottingwithbarrie Thanks. Wonder what track it is that runs between A3 and Rookwood then. On Google map it comes from Pacific National Enfield yard, run past Flemington Maintenance centre and from there it could go to west side or towards the north side towards Newcastle.
Great video despite the background chatter in the cab (I would have cut this by running relaxing background music), I hit the mute button and still enjoyed the video, pity the tour didn't include a run out to Port Botany and back with a call into Cooks River for the icing on the cake. Great restoration job of the Tin Hares. Do you know of any Tin Hare video of the old passenger service from Parkes to Tottenham and back on the branch? It was discontinued in 1974, must be some Super-8 hiding somewhere, also did the Tin Hares ever run on the Oberon branch Barrie? .I see they have pulled the overhead down off the Goods Line through Enfield too.
Hi Dave, I actually recorded ambient engine sounds to go over the top but there was as much talking in that track too so decided it wasn't worth editing out each word as I have done in the F1 videos, they little bit of engine noise you can hear is worth it. You know it's funny you mentioned Port Botany, there was a steam trip a few years ago that did Port Botany, airport, cooks river and Mungo Scott sidings, I have that video ready to go just looking for a good time. There are some great photos of Tim Hares on the Oberon line in the Oberon Tarana heritage railway Facebook page from 1974, check it out. Thanks for watching.
@@trainspottingwithbarrie Thanks Barrie, looking for video of Tin Hares on Tottenham and Oberon branch, photos abound, been to the museum at Oberon a few times, I started up one of the 73 class for them a few years back they couldn't get going. Old fellows were tickled, used to go for the truck and steam traction engine day at Oberon.
Video would have been better by playing over the talk in the cabin with music etc Plus you might know where you were going, but most watching does not. Be simple to add names of stations or landmarks in the editing process
31:49m as you pass under the bridge. On right side was Enfield South Box. Then Sadliers siding on the left.
Hi Dorkboy, thanks for adding that to the story. 😃👍
Voice of "Bruce", is likely Bruce Gehrig. I've done videos of the ride from Dungog back to Paterson, shot during Rail Motor Society "Open Days".
Bruce is a very nice Gentleman, very professional. They would be great videos. Thanks for commenting
@@trainspottingwithbarrie As it happens, I caught up with Bruce Gehrig on the past Sunday at Steamfest.
Brilliant video
Thanks Mel. Lots of videos coming this month, I've been busy.

I'll keep my eyes open and let you know if i come across anything. Love the old 73s a much maligned engine.
Funny how this tour sold out almost immediately, I wonder why haha.
the only way to see C Sets in 2022 😆
The wierd thing was that there were heaps of empty seats, but I jumped on it as soon as tickets went on sale.
G'day everyone
Hi Mel, nice to see you 😁
