    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.

    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.

    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.

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

      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 will also mention that the principal sponsor of the race is the Australian Rail and Track Corporation, the owner of much of the country's standard gauge railways. The company, in turn, is owned by the Australian people via the Commonwealth Government.

    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.

    The most exciting video I have ever see. Words cannot describe it. Amazing, fantastic, unbelievable just out of this world. A lot of childhood memories. I remember I used to watch them all the time mesmerized watching all those moving parts of the engine when I was a kid in India. Thank you so much for the video. Sheer joy.

      How so?
      I agree that it's incredible to watch but I don't really see how it "wasn't really a race"
      It's not like we can send these steamers flying as fast as they can, speed regulations still apply to them due to the track they run on and there's only so fast they can go.
      No hate or anything and I apologize if my comment comes off in that way, I'm just a little puzzled and curious as to what you mean as to me it reads as if you were expecting them to race like the Supercars at Bathurst lol

      @@clockwork3494 If it was an actual race I doubt they'd all be that close to one another for the entire thing. I may be wrong but I would've expected there to be more of a difference. And don't worry, no offense taken.

      @@roadtrain_ Ah, yeah I can understand that
      As I mentioned in my first reply though they are still limited by speed regulations in place, mostly due to the law but also for safety reasons as they do still carry passengers during the race.
      So while it is considered a race, I can also see how some may not see it in the same sense.
      While I can't speak for those who have been around to see these events longer than myself, I haven't particularly heard of exceptions being made even for special events like this either.
      This means that they can't exactly throw the regulator open and send them down the line exceeding speed zones without repercussions, but I do agree it would be fun to see them do so, powering ahead to go as fast as possible
      Glad I didn't come across as rude though, I tend to get worried people may take what I say in the wrong way thus I feel I have to specify it isn't my intention lol

      @@clockwork3494 They're just playing. Two of them were pulling diesel locomotives and some parts of the track are considerably longer than others so there is no way it would be so close if it were an actual race. They are just putting on a show for the passengers and onlookers while keeping it safe and at a reasonable speed.

    Something like this will never happen in the states, not only because the big class 1 railroads wont allow it but the government wont allow it, the cities wont allow it and the public wont allow it, BUT if it was possible I'd say the top four contenders would be the Norfolk&Western 611, Nickel Plate 765, Union Pacific 844 and Santa Fe 1522
