    When it comes to today's steam revivals, Aussies just know how to do it right! No other country could achieve a 'race' of 4 trains. Kudos galore!

      Yeah.... I think we might have a 4-wide race track in Denmark (sorta), but unfortunately there's never 4 big engines in working condition at the same time.

      @@nunyabuziness8421 If you believe that then throw away your mobile phone and wifi. The algorithm which is critical for the choice of signal for a mobile phone came from Australia's CSIRO Radio Astronomy Unit. So did Wifi, as proved by the patents for which 20 companies were sued for being in breach of. It doesn't stop there, ignoramus. Based on the number of citations of scientific papers, Australia is in the top 10 scientific countries in the world, despite its small population.

      Locomotives in this country aren't typically fitted with trip gear to interact with the train stop attached to the signals. Alternatively, where trains are fitted with trip gear, the train stops can be suppressed (lowered) so that they don't interfere with the train.

    I've always said the Ozzie's are phuckin' crazy. They spend years and millions restoring and preserving some of the finest steam engines still in steam anywhere; and then they race them! Just because they've got a bit of spare, four track main line they're not using!
    We Brits, on the other hand, spend years and millions restoring and preserving the actual finest steam engines anywhere and then we cherish and love them. By putting huge trains behind them, loading them up with nerds with stop watches, pointing them at the steepest, longest hills with rails on and.......flogging them uphill as hard and as fast as they will go. I can't see anything mad about that?
    Seriously though, those locos (and their trains) were beautiful. Full credit guys, that was spectacular. And look at the crowds - that's the way to do it.

      And all these beautiful pieces of industrial age ingenuity were built to be workhorses and used. Not polished up & admired from a distance.
      Lot of machinery to maintain, best way to honor builders, engineers and workers is show off and use these locomotives.
      They can still out-pull diesels, just not efficiently.

Возьми хоть попрыгню́ в нынешнем конфликте: когда им расхреначили тяговые подстанции, а тепловозов не хватало -- подключили паровозы. Скорость и пропускная способность не та, конечно, но сколько-то они там протелепались. На безрыбье и сам раком станешь. Так что восстановление и обслуживание таких старичков -- дело государственной важности для любой страны.

      The Puffing Billy Railway, just outside Melbourne, Victoria, operates two Garrets. PBR is a narrow Gauge tourist railway that was formerly part of the state railway system dating from the early 1900's, but has operated as a tourist railway from the 1960's. They have many unique Loco's, including the only narrow gauge Climax ever built. The garrets often operate "Double Headed". th-cam.com/video/QqoOZERiFR4/w-d-xo.html

    In India, we had hundreds of fit steam locos when they were phased out, but most got scrapped with myopic decisions and some got plinthed before stations or museums despite being in perfect working condition.
    Most people here have been meticulously brainwashed in believing everything that gives off smoke is a scrapyard garbage and a danger to the country's prosperity and must be torn apart, and that's why even diesel locos are being prematurely scrapped here let alone reviving and restoring classic steams, and people turn a blind eye to thermal power plants burning millions of tons of coal to produce their so called clean and green energy.
    This video brings me so much happiness and joy, hope to witness something like this with my own eyes someday, thanks for sharing this.

    Nagyon köszönöm ezt az élményt. 55 éves elmúltam és én még utaztam gőzmozdonyos vonaton. Mikor elindult a 4 gőzös... Hát megkönnyeztem. Annyira meghatott. Eszembe jutott a gyerekkorom mikor utoljára élőben hallottam a mozdony hangját. Nagyszerű látvány volt a 4 vonat. Szívesen felszállnék újra egyre. Hallgatni a csühögését. Talán már sose lesz részem benne.

    Big thank you to the posting person and also to the hard working volunteers from the Thirlmere Heritage Rail Museum.
    The vision shot from the cockpit of the old biplane is reminescent of another on YT where the beautiful Victorian built Spirit of Progress raced a plane from Melbourne to Albury back in 1937.
    Th Spirit was an amazing Aussie built train and years ahead of its' time.
    3801 here often hauled the Newcastle Flyer after she was built in Sydney in 1943. She hauled the Flyer cars on a record breaking run back in `1964 setting a time of two hours and one minute for the 150km / 100 miles trip. The trip is not an easy one and includes the crossing of the Hawkesbury River area with its' several inclines

    Can someone explain how two of them swapped lines early on in the race? Surely there can't be a diamond crossover that they could use so close together?

      If you break heavily into the corners and maintain steady breaking upto the apex and gently apply throttle without wheel spin you will gradually get some separation sufficient to overtake.

    this isn't a simple formula one race that you would typically see.
    This is something predecedent.
    There is something legendary about seeing such giant machines at speed and seeing them competing with each other...
    as they fly away, spitting fire. Roaring until they get to the last station.
    This, is the true experiecnce i would like to see.

    No, the diesel at the end isn’t secretly driving the train
    It’s there to provide dynamic braking and to act as a generator for the cars
