I remembered the Kenwick Railway Overpass at 40:48. The old Kenwick Railway Overpass used to carried the Armadale Line over the freight line when the freight line used to cross the Albany Highway that ran parallel to the Armadale Line. When the WA Government built the Roe Highway Extension, they removed the freight line level crossing signals and elevated the Albany Highway over the freight line and did the same at Thornlie when they built the Thornlie Spur to Thornlie Station.
I got this on video as a child
Excellent video.

Wash the steam chest fixed on the PM 706 after it fractured at Collie decades ago and was stranded there because of the breakage.
