On 10th of Feb 2001 QR ran a steam hauled special from Maryborough to Gayndah hauled by C17 No.974 as one of their contributions to centenary of federation celebrations in 2001. This was the second last time 974 was used before receiving a major overhaul which included a brand new all welded boiler. The last time 974 was used before the major overhaul took place on the Kingaroy Branch which sta...

Great vid. I would love to see a copy of this old vid without the "freeze frame" effect. The sound is continuous but not the image. Well done.
How fantastic to see this.
Which "Dead Monument" did 705 come from ? I remember a C17 at Southport, on Broadwater side of Pacific Highway, at North St. Intersection, just opposite Old Southport Terminus ( dead end). Removed because of " child safety concerns"( after more than 20 years in place); maybe the Asbestos cladding? ( another Woke /Snowflake reason). Good to see it on way to restoration, a Pre-war Build, with old open cab? Postwar Walkers builds had SedanCabs, and 900 plus series Numbers, AFAIK. Early ones had recycled numbers, open cabs, and ringed smokestacks.
Spring Hill, Brisbane.
So sad this lines demise
Where was 967
This was in 2003 prior to 967 being bought by MVHR. 967 was owned and operated by Beaudesert Rail at this time.
Where dose 253 reside now
253 is in Gympie depot
Lots of memories... Makes me upset to see what's become of 45. They could've put 819's boiler and running gear on her and had 2 operating locos. Anyways no point moaning, I had my time and fun and am grateful. Thanks for posting.
Where’s 802 these days
Sold to Southern Downs Steam Railway at Warwick awaiting overhaul.
Some great footage of an old classic. Do you know where she is now? Tezza.
Terry, C17 974 is still part of Queensland Rails heritage fleet. It is currently on loan to the Mary Valley Rattler at Gympie.
awesome video Scott Arnell :)
A good classic clip , although I would have liked to see more stations , and the train coming off the main line at Mungar . cheers.
The moment by moment working of this railway carries the mark of authenticity. If one looks at many videos of current British heritage railways, when locos are being shifted around and reversed on turntables etc. they always seem to move at the pace of what Ogden Nash described as "molasses in Reykjavik." As if they might get derailed by an ant on the metals, and "I have to clear the points by at least 20 metres before they can be switched." I exaggerate, but you know what I mean. Thankfully none of that nonsense occurs here. The loco is maneuvered along a parallel track to the coaches at a fair lick, someone jumps from the cab before the points are reached and switches them as soon as the rear wheels clear the mechanism. Same at the turntable, no dilly-dallying but a quick entry, jam on the brakes, beaver away at the turntable handle, click.. and then off we go again! No time wasted at all. And I believe this is how it would have been done in the steam era. Were these movements as slow as we often see today, they would have attracted the ire of the yard foreman and told to get a move on!
If the plan is to run a steam train for tourists they urgently need to buy that bit of land at 10 mins 30 seconds.
that's stupid.
Why was it C17 45's last run?
+Taurean Lea 45 was withdrawn due to the boiler reaching its life expiry and running gear needing major overhaul.
Scott Arnell Is C17 45 still alive even if it was withdrawn?
Taurean Lea No, boiler has had it. It needs a new boiler and a major rebuild on the rest of it to operate again. It is currently stored in the shed at Gympie.
Scott Arnell That is so sad :'-(. Now this makes me cry.
Congratulations - A job well done! Great job!
