Great video as per normal .👍
Had me thinking tho did the train use triangle prior to Mossvale and back up to station? As it's in the same configuration coming back to Mittagong. Cheers

Thanks for this video. I was not aware that the Braemar branch line was open in 2005. Do they still use it for heritage trains?

Braemar is on the Picton to Mittagong loopline, the short section from Mittagong to Braemar was used for sleeper trains because there's a manufacture that makes them there, no trains have run there for a while though
