Thank you. Having the right music is so important to the feel of a video. There is a paid subscription service called Soundstripe. Each track I use is licensed and downloaded through this service. I am not sure if the artists have released their tracks via other services. Some tracks just seem to click, and this one had the right mix of nostalgia and ambiance for this story.
No problem at all, there has been a nick name given to the columns “the pearly gates” as the railway was expanding TGR capacity was also expanding, with expanding comes bigger rolling stock hence the reason why they were removed, it would of been cheaper & quicker to remove them as rail ways just did what needed to be done in that era.
Found out their fate after digging around a bit upon my return from Tasmania. Historian and author, Nic Haygarth filled me in on the details. Thankfully got permission from Hydro Tasmania to use the old film footage of the pipes on the railway carriages, you can see how they would never have fitted in-between the columns, a real tragedy.

Love the Steinbeck quote. Of course the bridge formed the famous and deadly viaduct for the Longford racing circuit that ran until 1968.
Great work Kathy. I just saw this tonight. Loving the special effects.
Great video again - but where can I get that Bright Seed track?

The columns were at Launceston Railway Yards in 1968 - see QVM photo 4512
Thanks for the info Dean.
The columns were melted down for rolling stock brake blocks.
Thats interesting to know, thank you Kyle!

I've driven past that bridge many times and never considered it's history. Its such a shame it's columns were removed and obviously destroyed.
