The shot at 49:39 of the NZR "Dg diesel locomotives" is taken at the Dunedin Railway Station, not Christchurch, The Steam locomotive at 49:51 is the NZR "Bb class" not the NZR "C class". And Frankton Yard Junction (1884-1975) is somewhere around Hamilton, far from Auckland. Know very parts of the railways and locations of my home New Zealand.
Sorry but the Sydney Harbour Bridge never carried steam trains on a regular basis for it was completed on 1932 and Sydney's suburban railways were electrified in 1928. Hawkesbury River bridge is on the line from Sydney to Brisbane in Queensland not Melbourne in Victoria. It was never a target for Japanese bombers as they only got as far as Darwin in the Northern Territory which is at the top of Australia. Steam bowed out in New South Wales on the 4th March 1973 but private railway steam operations continued with the South Maitland Railway using 10 class 2-8-2 tank locos until 1983 and the nearby Richmond Vale Railway used the same class until 1987. The whole class of 14 locos have been preserved.
Alan is it possible to ask permission to use the some of your footage? I'm doing a video detailing the Railway in Central Queensland from a Railwayman's perspective. I would credit it to yourself and I do not profit in any way from videos on my channel they are purely for education and entertainment purposes. Sincerely Adrian
