- Beyer-Garratt 6029 assisted by heritage diesel 4490 and GL112 hauls the official train celebrating the re-opening of the Gwabegar line between Kandos & Rylstone on Saturday September 29th 2018. This was the first time a Garratt locomotive had traversed the line.
After arriving from Lithgow 6029 and 4490 ran two shuttle trips from Kandos to Rylstone before the train returned to Lithgow that afternoon. The locos were re-marshalled at Clandulla to put 6029 in the lead for the return run and to pick up GL112 which had been dropped off in the siding that morning.
The last time i saw a Beyer-Garratt it was a sad derelict sight. I come from an old railway family and it is a delight to see one of these beautiful machines alive and breathing again.
Stunning footage of 6029 and 4490 in glorious sunny scenery which looked VERY hot! Your footage looked very sharp and well focused with good location points. Thanks for the vid and best wishes from Ken in Scotland, UK.
as a young guy , i was a fitter at nsw railways, i worked on garratts for many years. a great loco mainly for great power & great axel loading. i cant understand why a restored unit is FILMED with a very bad leaking rod seal throughout the vidio on l/h rear cyl . it has a tapered babbit metal adustable friction seal to prevent leakage!!!--- does nobody know how to fix this problem??--- love your vidio😀-- just saying---as a steam train lover im very suprised this VIDIO did not get heaps more likes & subs, especially overseas in places like u.s.a. where steam has an amazing following!!
please keep up the good work.
I used to love those carriages in the 70's
What is right behind the steam locomotive? Is that an extra water tender?
For the most part there is longer working standpipes at regular locations along the mainline tracks anymore. As such, heritage steam locos operating on the mainline have to haul extra water with them. In some instances they are often also provided with an additional water top-up at their destination, courtesy of the local volunteer fire brigade and one of their tanker trucks.
