This trip so far has a packed itinerary. From Burnie and the beach to the bush and now cement works, Power sub-station and the Railton siding. I really have enjoyed this trip so far. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. These videos have been relaxing and also intriguing with what will come next. Thank you.
Lots of cement spill between the rails? No guessing what is the main commodity, hauled on this section of track? Did you (or any watchers) know that there was once a spur to a Shale oil plant just North East of Dawson's Siding early in the 1900's, or that the line once passed over the river twice to go through Latrobe? I remember the station , and the railway crossing in the main street.. There were extra crossing lights, suspended on cables, over the middle of the main road there? The Railway in this area, was a lot different in the 1960's?
Very interesting. I had looked into the railway running through Latrobe, the bridge in the paddock first had me intrigued. I didn't know a great deal of the history of it though. Always interesting looking into the history of the railways. 👍😀
I noticed what I think was, a 'dead end' "Catch" point, at the North end of the cement siding? I guess that was installed after the "run-away" a few years ago? Better in the dirt than on the main line? Sorry to make so many comments, but was the average speed near, or just over, 40 kph on most of the trip? I was trying to time the distance marker pegs , but they are not that easy to see? Great trip by the way, I really enjoyed it.. Thanks for the ride.. Only been in the cab once on that line, I had forgotten all of the curves after Dawson's siding... From the road, you don't really see them ... Rob.
@@robinmathews2446 a dead end siding is always a good idea to make sure that any runaways are stopped in their tracks. The kilometre posts are made easier to see with the white square with the km written in it that flashes up in the bottom left corner of the screen. Very happy to hear you enjoyed the ride along the line. 👍😀
If only if only this technology digital camera available to film between Tonganah and Ledgerwood on the North East in 1989. More interesting than the West Coast Abt Railway.
I totally agree... The line from Scottsdale to Legerwood would have been a really good tourist trip? Much more scenic than the West coast Wilderness Railway.. And a lot easier to access for local train lovers.. The views from atop the Billycock are great.. Better than ferns beside the windows on the West coat effort? The loops down to Legerwood were a great piece of hill climbing? It's a great pity that it was not captured on film?
@@robinmathews2446 I find west coast very beautiful as I also think the north east is, both in their own ways. Tasmania has a lot of great scenery in the state that us on the main land have to travel great distances to find. Australia as a whole has some great scenery that varies immensely depending where you are in the country. 👍😀
Merry Chistmas Colin... All the best to you and yours Mate, great job showing something from Tasmania... Abrazo ENORME from Bs As, Argentina, Rodolfo
Thank you. Merry Christmas to you and your family in Argentina. I am very happy you have been enjoying the videos. 👍😀
Thank you for this video. Nice cab ride. The line moves away from the coast.
Merry Christmas.
Thank you. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family also. 👍😀
Very impressive sounding horn on this train,also some rare Tassie rail signals at start and finish
@@gregthompson3274 there are not many signals across Tasmania. Glad you enjoyed it 👍😀

Variety is the spice of life, so they say, and this had industrial, suburban, rural, nature, and a Harley Davidson.😁🏍
@@martythemartian99 everything you need for a nice ride along the track. 😀😀👍
I'm thinking that the Green car belongs to a Very Color Blind Railfan.
No fading into the background for this guy!...😁😁
@@daveleland9944 🤣🤣 👍
Beautiful day for a Train ride. Wouldn't it be nice if there was an open car or two for tourism and sightseeing?
That would be great. Hopefully it happens one day. 🤔👍😀
Gr8 video, what type of Loco was this taken from please

There's a thought about passenger services in Tasmania again. It'd be good for tourism.
Let's hope that tourist trains make it back onto the main line in the future. 👍😀
No level crossing replacement on this line. Nice video anyway. I travel from Devonport down to Hobart way back in 1976.
@@ianomeara6263 it's been a while since anyone could catch a train down to Hobart. Glad you enjoyed the video 👍 😀

You're welcome. Very happy you enjoyed the video 👍 😀
I’m seeing a white Ute and a green station wagon in this as well as the previous video, is the driver being stalked?
@@vanessab6612 it's very possible... 🤣🤣👍
The section that probably set a speed record for the TR class.
Admittedly without a driver and going in the other direction…
Oops. We don't need that again. 🤔🤔👍

It would be nice to have some good video of some of those closed lines. 👍😀
