- Scenes recorded on Tuesday May 16th, 2000, of the mass movement of stored 422 class locomotives from Werris Creek to Broken Hill
That’s a great video mate I remember them coming through two Wells in early 2001 I think💪💪👍👍❤️🚂🚂🦘🦘🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
They were everywhere. I used to hear them thundering up the hill from Warnervale to Wyong..
As a callboy in the 70's, there was nothing like the sound of a GM throttleing up :)
That would've been a sight indeed. Thanks for sharing 😎👍
Great vid - you could say that that train was slightly overpowered!!! :-)
I swear only the first engine was running
Killing me to watch this. My OCD needs them in numerical order!
I found it interesting that in the second scene, that 44219 had been relocated from front to rear of train set.
That would probably be due to the change in direction at Binnaway, having top and tail formation would make the change a lot quicker
Beautiful trains it's a shame only 10 are still running, the rest where scrapped.
nice video bro
At 2:00 does that signal guy hang out in the little shed all day waiting to switch 😂
How many loco's would need to be powered to run a 15 loco 'train set'?
I don't really know but about 3 I would think.
Are they scrapped?
Could’ve put them in numerical order 😂
Were they A7EL or 26L ?
Would it be silly of me to assume that 42201 was being saved for posterity?
I'm sure some of the 442's were workable enough to be relegated to stunting duties & (emergence rail power units) or even (hospital transfer locomotives) being just used to haul rolling stock that requires maintenance, instead of just 10 a lot more of the 442 units could have still be used in some way
to better free up more modern yunger powerful locomotives to the main line duties.
Radical
I'm assuming most of these would be scrapped by now?
Sadly id guess so. Surely a few will be saved though.
Most will still be used for many years....sold doesn't mean scrapped.....there are many rail companies and some of them use way older loco's than this.
About 75% of the class are still around in some form!
It would make an interesting project, hooking them up to dual fuel, diesel and gas injection.
42’s, 81’s 86’s, G’s and BL’s! What’s the difference?
BL is South Australian I think, G are Victorian, 86s is an electric class, 422s is an upgraded version of 44s, 442s are upgrades of 422s, 81s are updated versions of both as 42220 was the test bed for majority components of 81s
Who purchased them
Assuming the candy units had been stored for a while or raided for parts.
Cheaper by the dozen.
They went to South Australia 👍
Incredible! Are they all running. Or some are dead ? I’m so old I remember the 421 class being new !
Looks like only the lead and rear loco are under power by the exhaust.
by the sounds, only the first 2 are powered
Great looking and sounding locos - except for their crappy RVB horns.
They need a bit of Amtrak horns from the USA....!!!!
@Kenneth Jones yep
Almost the mother of all lash-up
Shoosh, don't Tell Keith Jones or they will endup in the Dorrigo museum.
The museum without visitors that is
Handing up train orders?
They look similar to Class 81
Pre 81 class
That blue didn't weather well.
Just a few ponies there

Why wait 20 years to post it
The first video was posted many years ago
The train is running as a push/pull for most of its journey
1. RUclips didn't exist in 2000. 2. Why not???
