Yeah.... I think we might have a 4-wide race track in Denmark (sorta), but unfortunately there's never 4 big engines in working condition at the same time.
Watching a race between four classic steam engines was not something I expected to watch and be fascinated by this morning. Thank the gods for the quirks of the RUclips algorithm.
It was normal so that those of us who lived here in the UK thought nothing about it. BUT, it was a filthy business, especially in places where there were lots of steam locos

I think that pedestrian bridge was sagging just a hair! Great video. Astonishing that there is a 4-track mainline somewhere that can be tied up for a race like this. Fantastic! Made my day!
I've always said the Ozzie's are phuckin' crazy. They spend years and millions restoring and preserving some of the finest steam engines still in steam anywhere; and then they race them! Just because they've got a bit of spare, four track main line they're not using! We Brits, on the other hand, spend years and millions restoring and preserving the actual finest steam engines anywhere and then we cherish and love them. By putting huge trains behind them, loading them up with nerds with stop watches, pointing them at the steepest, longest hills with rails on and.......flogging them uphill as hard and as fast as they will go. I can't see anything mad about that? Seriously though, those locos (and their trains) were beautiful. Full credit guys, that was spectacular. And look at the crowds - that's the way to do it.
And all these beautiful pieces of industrial age ingenuity were built to be workhorses and used. Not polished up & admired from a distance. Lot of machinery to maintain, best way to honor builders, engineers and workers is show off and use these locomotives. They can still out-pull diesels, just not efficiently. Great video
Паровозы стоят на консервации. Это транспортный н.з. в любой стране. Возьми хоть попрыгню́ в нынешнем конфликте: когда им расхреначили тяговые подстанции, а тепловозов не хватало -- подключили паровозы. Скорость и пропускная способность не та, конечно, но сколько-то они там протелепались. На безрыбье и сам раком станешь. Так что восстановление и обслуживание таких старичков -- дело государственной важности для любой страны.
In India, we had hundreds of fit steam locos when they were phased out, but most got scrapped with myopic decisions and some got plinthed before stations or museums despite being in perfect working condition. Most people here have been meticulously brainwashed in believing everything that gives off smoke is a scrapyard garbage and a danger to the country's prosperity and must be torn apart, and that's why even diesel locos are being prematurely scrapped here let alone reviving and restoring classic steams, and people turn a blind eye to thermal power plants burning millions of tons of coal to produce their so called clean and green energy. This video brings me so much happiness and joy, hope to witness something like this with my own eyes someday, thanks for sharing this.
I’m a big diesel electric nut, but this has to rank up there with the best rail footage out there. These beautiful rigs can’t be beat. Thanks for posting!👍
This is without a doubt the coolest steam locomotive video EVER! I love these machine and am always encouraged to see enthusiasts restore them into working condition again. Well done guys!!
Great video! The trains are beautiful, rolling masterpieces in the most picturesque settings. I’m in Indianapolis Indiana, half a world away, the camera work, drones and the editing made this possible.
Poor 3801, just couldn't get any traction at the start. She was left for dead. How did they get the trains to run against the stop signals without triggering the brakes
Locomotives in this country aren't typically fitted with trip gear to interact with the train stop attached to the signals. Alternatively, where trains are fitted with trip gear, the train stops can be suppressed (lowered) so that they don't interfere with the train.
Большое спасибо! Отличное видео! Организаторы этих гонок, просто СУПЕР ЛЮДИ!!! Ещё раз, спасибо большое! С наилучшими пожеланиями, Артемий из России!!!
Never thought i would ever see a Garrett still in operation. Back in 2015, here in the US, the Union Pacific started restoration on a Big Boy, a 4-8-8-4 articulated steam locomotive. Restoration was completed just before the 150th anniversary of the driving of the Golden Spike back on May 10, 1869. I never got to see the Big Boy in person! It is on my bucket list.
The Puffing Billy Railway, just outside Melbourne, Victoria, operates two Garrets. PBR is a narrow Gauge tourist railway that was formerly part of the state railway system dating from the early 1900's, but has operated as a tourist railway from the 1960's. They have many unique Loco's, including the only narrow gauge Climax ever built. The garrets often operate "Double Headed". ruclips.net/video/QqoOZERiFR4/видео.html
4014 is a BEAST. I got to see it in person when it came through St. Louis. Even sitting idle on the tracks, you could feel the heat radiating off the boiler. Big piece of machinery.
Such a beautiful sight. These machines are restored by volunteers in their spare time. The train museums in Oz do a great job and everyone should go and visit these places to see such engineering from many decades ago. I would probably get to work on time with these steamers as the new generation trains seem to be late or break down.😮
Steamfest 2023's Great Train Race was absolutely spectacular! The power and beauty of those steam locomotives are unmatched. Thanks for capturing and sharing this thrilling event!
The people along the way have no idea what a treat they are witnessing! I rode a train back in 1944 or 45 and still remember it. Now towboats!?! I've done that. But still,,, the steam train,,, hope to ride one more time in the short number of years I have left!!
Didn't know a Garrett is still operational! Amazing! Over here in the US, the Union Pacific brought back to life a Big Boy, a 4-8-8-4 articulated locomotive weighing in at over 1,500,000 lbs, 132 feet long, and 6,000 horsepower . Just incredible.
This is one if the most beautiful things I've ever seen. The sheer power and majesty of the iron horses from days gone by. While they may be relics of a time long past, the steam locomotives of old layed the foundation for the very world we live in now. May the thunder of pistons and the hiss of steam be sounds carried across the rails forever.
It should be noted that The Great Train Race, isn't the trains racing each other, but rather all trains racing a Tiger Moth Plane flying overhead. I will also mention that the principal sponsor of the race is the Australian Rail and Track Corporation, the owner of much of the country's standard gauge railways. The company, in turn, is owned by the Australian people via the Commonwealth Government.
We have seen many Races in This Human race but this one is Amazing.The maintenance of the Railway tracks was the prime vital reason to conduct this terrific 👍 Event.Hats off to them ❤.
this isn't a simple formula one race that you would typically see. This is something predecedent. There is something legendary about seeing such giant machines at speed and seeing them competing with each other... as they fly away, spitting fire. Roaring until they get to the last station. This, is the true experiecnce i would like to see.
Wonderful weather, great video and editing, beautiful engines, excellent track and grounds and so well done I could almost smell the coal smoke. Also loved the restored diesels. But this being nostalgia, I can also hear mom complaining 'cause the smoke from trains passing our house raised havoc with her line of wash. 79 y/o USA.
Something like this will never happen in the states, not only because the big class 1 railroads wont allow it but the government wont allow it, the cities wont allow it and the public wont allow it, BUT if it was possible I'd say the top four contenders would be the Norfolk&Western 611, Nickel Plate 765, Union Pacific 844 and Santa Fe 1522
How so? I agree that it's incredible to watch but I don't really see how it "wasn't really a race" It's not like we can send these steamers flying as fast as they can, speed regulations still apply to them due to the track they run on and there's only so fast they can go. No hate or anything and I apologize if my comment comes off in that way, I'm just a little puzzled and curious as to what you mean as to me it reads as if you were expecting them to race like the Supercars at Bathurst lol
@@clockwork3494 If it was an actual race I doubt they'd all be that close to one another for the entire thing. I may be wrong but I would've expected there to be more of a difference. And don't worry, no offense taken.
@@roadtrain_ Ah, yeah I can understand that As I mentioned in my first reply though they are still limited by speed regulations in place, mostly due to the law but also for safety reasons as they do still carry passengers during the race. So while it is considered a race, I can also see how some may not see it in the same sense. While I can't speak for those who have been around to see these events longer than myself, I haven't particularly heard of exceptions being made even for special events like this either. This means that they can't exactly throw the regulator open and send them down the line exceeding speed zones without repercussions, but I do agree it would be fun to see them do so, powering ahead to go as fast as possible Glad I didn't come across as rude though, I tend to get worried people may take what I say in the wrong way thus I feel I have to specify it isn't my intention lol
@@clockwork3494 They're just playing. Two of them were pulling diesel locomotives and some parts of the track are considerably longer than others so there is no way it would be so close if it were an actual race. They are just putting on a show for the passengers and onlookers while keeping it safe and at a reasonable speed.
Can someone explain how two of them swapped lines early on in the race? Surely there can't be a diamond crossover that they could use so close together?
If you break heavily into the corners and maintain steady breaking upto the apex and gently apply throttle without wheel spin you will gradually get some separation sufficient to overtake.
When it comes to today's steam revivals, Aussies just know how to do it right! No other country could achieve a 'race' of 4 trains. Kudos galore!
Yeah.... I think we might have a 4-wide race track in Denmark (sorta), but unfortunately there's never 4 big engines in working condition at the same time.
Bc they're behind everyone else w technology😂
Watching a race between four classic steam engines was not something I expected to watch and be fascinated by this morning. Thank the gods for the quirks of the RUclips algorithm.
I was surprised that rail traffic in Oz is on the proper side 😬
I am not impressed at all. I was expecting them to be super slow which is boring by itself so my expectations are same like reality
I was in the UK in 1959 and everything was steam! It was a fabulous experience and etched in my memory at age 84!
That's fantastic memory I bet!
It was normal so that those of us who lived here in the UK thought nothing about it. BUT, it was a filthy business, especially in places where there were lots of steam locos
I was there too.✌
God bless, sir.
🍺
NOW THIS IS DEFINITELY A
HEAVY METAL DRAG RACE!
Hell yeah brother 🤘
Don't get me wrong I love Formula 1, British Touring Car, WRC, and American LeMans series... But THIS is a race!!!!!! ❤
Me too!
More scripted than WWE 😆
Idc what you love vato
Steam locomotive racing should become a international sport
American Le Mans ?
It is good to see the old iron horses still riding the rails. Outstanding Video

The British run their heritage steam trains at 100 kilometres per hour!

and then the US has the biggest steam engine thats been restored
yeah, we gotta do that. Espescially with Duchess of Hamilton and Mallard
I got so caught up in this "race" that I didn't want it to end!
Watch it in a loop😊

Before dataloggers it happened regularly, just not officially.

Steam engines aren't typically equipped with positive control unless it's been added on.
I think the diesel locomotive at the back of their consist may have been partly to blame.
Locomotives in this country aren't typically fitted with trip gear to interact with the train stop attached to the signals. Alternatively, where trains are fitted with trip gear, the train stops can be suppressed (lowered) so that they don't interfere with the train.
they unplugged the wlan cabel
Wait a damn minute
Beautiful locomotives. Great shots. Great sound. Greetings from Germany.
This is excellent and thankfully it happens every year in April. The Maitland Steamfest is the must do heritage rail experience in Australia

as they fly away, spitting fire. Roaring until they get to the last station.

No, the diesel at the end isn’t secretly driving the train
It’s there to provide dynamic braking and to act as a generator for the cars
Like an improvised caboose?
