Good Video - I grew up living right opposite the main line to Kuranda and beyond, so I am very familiar with the older equipment that used to run past. The trip to Kuranda is terrific...couldn't tell you how many times I have done it! - I still love Cairns and miss living there (I left in 1978).
@@nickstransportvlogs We used to go to Palm Cove regularly - My wife and I holidayed there before our kids were born and in 2019 we took the kids to Green Island, Cairns, Palm Cove and Kuranda...such a beautiful trip. I do miss Cairns and the area as a whole...
Great video Nick. Good to see another video again. It was interesting to see the differences between Victorian and QLD trains and how things operate. There are some interesting trains up in QLD.
Did the second Kuranda train from a few days later return long end leading or did they turn one of the locomotives at Kuranda? Normally the locos just swap ends at Kuranda.
I suppose they turned one of the locos. As I’ve said in the video, Queensland Rail permanently banned long end leading back, after an accident involving a driver being killed somewhere around 2021.
Good video. 👌 I was in Cairns recently too (to take the Spirit of Queensland to Brisbane) … so interesting to see these rail movements.
Thank you Adam!
Yep, very interesting to see the different movements. 🙂

Very interesting story! I
love staying at Cairns too, even though I stay at Palm Cove a lot! 😅

Yeah, it is very interesting differences of the two mentioned states of how they operate their networks.
