Tin Hares on the Main South: Australian Trains

Over the Melbourne Cup long weekend in November 2013, the Association of Railway Enthusiasts and The Rail Motor Society organised a four day tour around New South Wales venturing as far north as Coonamble, west to Dubbo and Griffith and south to Junee.
The route of the trip was Telarah (near Maitland) - Muswellbrook - Gulgong - Merrygoen - Dubbo - Coonamble - Dubbo - Orange - Parkes - Stockinbingal - Cootamundra - Temora - Griffith - Narranderra - Junee - Sydney - Telarah.
The trip was operated by CPH7 and CPH1, two historic 1920's CPH "Tin Hare" railmotors that have been superbly maintained by the dedicated volunteers at The Rail Motor Society in Paterson.
The eighth and final video in this series features the journey north along the Main Southern line from Cootamundra to Macarthur and then around Sydney on the new South Sydney Freight Line.
As it was dark following the dinner stop at Hornsby, we then jump straight to the final destination of the trip at Telarah after 2200km of travel around New South Wales by 1920's railmotors

Great stuff.. I've really enjoyed these videos.. love those CPH's ... just keep on keeping on.
What a pity the Cowra - Blayney line is now gone.. it would have been great to see them come through here...
