The days when "the Job" was a great workplace....we didnt realize how well we had it then.....I am happy to have been part of it....the wonderfull NSWGR.....A GREAT upload Thankyou
Are there any surviving photos or footage of the coal loader which used to be near where the old signal box stands? It was there until the late seventies but when I moved to Young in 1984 it had been removed. there are still some ramps in evidence.
D58 class was not a flop. They were a different locomotive entirely to a D57 class. The department pooled them with D57 class , which should not have happened. D58 were a freight version of C38 class. Given the right coal, loads within there capability e.g roughly 10% less than D57, and good well programmed maintenance, put on an enthusiastic good Goulburn crew and you have a great locomotive. D58 failures were actually less than D57 and AD 60 class. Don't write them off through heresy or crews bad tales of them. A drop of 20 psi boiler pressure in either a C38 or D58 without a reduction in load could bring both classes undone.
Wonderful!! Some great shots of my favourite - the "57 Class" - at work, too!

That crossing with the 57 was an amazing catch; thanks for loading this.

Love the look of the 57. Shame the 58 was a flop.
