      There are 6 tracks through strathfield and what sort of major problem on the western line could ever require an electric passenger train to get diverted through here. Also this track is now controlled by the ARTC and not Sydney trains.

      @@anonymike8280 Yeah. It's part of the Transport Heritage Festival, the same as the CPH railmotor trip this video was filmed from. It's been a long time since we've had steam trains running regular services.The reason for the diesel on the back (which didn't seem to be doing too much powering) is because this is a shuttle. When it gets to the destination station, the diesel will return the train to Central. The diesel is a museum piece too, btw.

    The odd stauntions multiplieed but no power? I see some are old. Was power removed from these lines? Suggest they used to use electric locos to pull freight, maybe they went totally diesel locos for freight? Back for more later. Good to see a quick shadow at one stage of the old CPH. Thanks for a great "Old Trains Day" video.

      Geoffrey Moore in the late 1980s SRA (State Rail Authority) had 3 active electric locomotive classes 46, 85 and 86 class locomotives enfield yard was the largest rail yard in New South Wales. From the mid 1950s electrification had reached the coal mines over the blue mountains past lithgow and in the early 80s newcastle and Port Kembla also. There was a big depot at enfield known as Delec it was to help maintain the freight trains in service. In the late 90s the cost to run the electric locomotives was to high so freightcorp (fka SRA) withdrew all the electric fleet so most electrification had been removed. The stanchions are still in place but the over head rails removed. The best place to note this from is Campsie to Marrickville on the bankstown line.
      Hope this was some help

      2 lines are the ARTC metropolitan freight line and the other 2 are the electric Sydney trains network. They don't intersect anywhere between the sefton triangle at the start of the video until the 35 minute mark near Sydenham.

      @@johnwallace2275 Incorrect, ARTC wanted the wires removed to cut down on maintenance costs of the infrastructure. The wires between Flemington South Junction and Enfield Yard are being retained so when the Robel train and other infrastructure trains are worked into the City (underground), they can be worked out of Enfield yard by electric loco 8606 and soon 8649.

      Yet you only see apart of it in this video and it's smaller now than it used to be with the disappearance of Wardell Road (Dulwich Hill) to Rozelle and Balmain Rd Junction to Sydney Yard. But in saying that, the general public can travel on this line on the Sydney Light Rail (SLR) from Central to Dulwich Hill. The other parts that you don't see is from Marrickville to Port Botany and Chullora Junction to Flemington Junctions around behind Flemington Carriage Sidings for the run to North Strathfield.

      I wasn't paying too much attention to the signalling, but there was a change of network from Sydney Trains to ARTC (Australian Rail Track Corporation), and back to Sydney Trains. The requirements for signalling on a freight line are probably a bit different to a suburban passenger service.
