The slow death of South Maitland Railways, NSW Australia

The slow death of South Maitland Railways, with scenes I filmed in the last steam days of June 1983, plus the SMR Cessnock to Bellbird section, filmed January 2025. A potential world-class heritage line is currently abandoned, rusting into ruin, with vandalism and decay the reality here for significant Australian railway history. #steam #railway #abandoned #heritage #coal
