Great video. Would have loved to have seen what the 4th locomotive was & how it looked chugging along. What a sight all 4 must have been roaring down the tracks!
I was more interested with the race and the other steam units. Driver only controlled the brakes and speed. Fire man didnt do much. Feeding the fire was operated via control valve....
So the crew on a 260 tonne Garratt doesn't do much of interest? Oh well you can show them next time your're riding 6029! The "Race" is held every year.
21:30 - Looking down on inside Stephenson valve gear!
Insane video, as it should be!
Big thanks from the US!
There's the bad undiscovered areas of TH-cam and the good ones. This is a good one!

On your marks, get set, go.
The great old steam race , very good indeed. thanks for posting
Very nice. The Garratt was toying with the other trains.
Definitely one extremely awesome video Wow
had to feel sorry for the crew of 6029 had to slow down for the other guys to catch up.. but loved the video
Now this is a dragrace. Just need some trackbite for the start. Greatest video ever.

QuebeC VR yeah I’ve been on a lot of cab rides
Uz Kiwis loved it. Great vid AAA+++!
Wow...great video.
Fantastic.
Its a shame there wasn't any other video from the other trains with the race
That was me hanging out the cab of 3016 in the light coloured shirt, Wasn't it amazing!!!!
Peter Brigden
Yes at least I got my $$$ worth.
Where is the video of 3016
Second best rail video in Australia (Best is Queensland BB18 & 1/4 Cairns to Kuranda by Paul Shepherd ;-) )
i reckon once the 3801 is fixed.. the 6029 and 3801 should do a trip to roma street in brissy from central staion in sydney. .
TGs Train Clips if a normal locomotive can do trips to roma st im pretty sure the 6029 can
Cool video! Jawtooth approved! lol
Wasn't it great without those annoying bells that give me the shits with American trains.
just insanely awesome
How can you get a cab ride?
How fast where they going
Unfortunately hardly any shots to show us what it was actually like to be in the cab of the garratt - and showing the driver and fireman at work!

If i get the chance again. This ride cost me some big$$$
Considering 6029 is now out of service you might never get that chance.
That deeper sounding whistle just had to be a 59 class. Which one was it?
it was the one on the left side of the garret
How fast was she going?
Henboman
About 75-80ks. 80km/h speed limit was in place during the race.
Where are the trains ? Use a drone to film this !!!
Jaco van Lith
How could i use a DRONE WHILE IN THE CAB????
how did u get permission?
EBAY AUCTION!
LOL
It was in NSW. You just put enough in a brown paper bag and give it to the right bloke. Not like here in South Aus...
