      @@ProfessorLocomotive I strongly disagree as it is apparently quite a famous historic iconic moment known by many people and it is suitably relevant for adding and inclusion to the said video due to it’s rare historical posterity. Plus there is video footage of said trip also recorded for posterity as well and it is also quite rare of being one of the very couple of rare standard gauge steam locos to venture to Alice Springs as well, the other being 4472 Flying Scotsman from Britain. 3801 Alice Spring voyage: th-cam.com/video/99cD2SkiKk0/w-d-xo.html

      @@ProfessorLocomotive it is still apparently quite popular as it’s not just views and video footage, it’s also many articles including it and featuring of said voyage in books, magazines, newsletters, you name it under the saying of: record it while you can, regardless of it’s lack of importance as sooner or later, it will eventually disappear or that chance will be gone. Comparison of video views is not a reliable indicator and is completely moot. You can ask the Australian Railway Historical Society and Australian Railway History magazine as well as Railways Digest magazine along with Transport Heritage NSW and they’ll easily back this historical importance up.

    Good compilation but you didn’t mention the the 3801 is off the rails again awaiting parts. Sadly she was unable to be used in this year’s heritage events. Unfortunately it is extremely expensive for the upkeep of this engine and although there is NSW Govt assistance they also rely on public donations.
