I'm Kyle Gleeson, an avid railfan that lives in Far North Queensland, enjoying photographing and filming railway operations in the Sunshine State of Queensland.
I strive to bring you different, quality videos of railway operations ranging from; general Freight and Passenger, Heritage Operations, as well as Special movements. Take a look around!
Choice video bro, good to see some aluminum billet on the train at 9.51. I spent some time at the NZAS smelter during their expansion quite a few years ago.
Also if anyone would like to know why the Da was used is due to Marlborough being too dry and the fire risk being at a permanent fite ban in place at the time...
Cool to see a bit of what goes on on the cane railways, a lot similar and a lot different to what we do with the coalies, mind you, id pay money to have automated couplers.
My Homestate, you were so lucky to score 2009 leading 46 at Bengeo as there are only two active DQ's in maroon paint.... did you guys manage to catch up with Adrain Cooper in Burnie? He is a legend
Great stuff Kyle! I was in Townsville on Saturday 1/6 on my first visit to that area and discovered this train sitting in Partington Yards. Information I read today (9/6) says these locos are owned and operated by Progress Rail. I look forward as always, to more of your videos - I learn *SO* much out of them!!! 😍
I doubt it ever will. The trains are extremely slow down there. Don River aim to provide a mainline tourist train in the future; a lot of work for that to eventuate however
The peculiar thing about those EMD GT46CU-ACe Gen III is that they are longer than the conventional EMD GT46C-ACe from Australia Saludos desde México 🇲🇽
We’re we’re all the intermodal filmed because I showed my friend (jakes trains) and he said that wasn’t Blackwater (he’s probably wrong tho) so I was just wondering were it was
Amazing video, I'm currently a loco driver up in the herbert region, and your lines are much flatter and in better shape than ours up here😅 Our top speed is only 25kmph on our mainline up here and half of our mainline is only suitable for 24-26 tonne locos, our 40 tonne locos can only do so much, mainly out bambaroo way.
I was thinking of coming up that way this season, playing with some Baldwins instead of 40 tonners every day. The flat terrain and repetition is boring me. Not only that if something happens on the main at Giru you can forget about cane supply! There really isn't a challenge except for Barratta Creek, and if you head out on an overtime shift to Millaroo. However, I will be heading to Plane Creek this year. Doin something different 😁 Did they sort out the RSU on Brissie and Clem.? Giru has been a pain in the arse
It's harder than you'd think to remember your lines and deliver them in a way that doesn't feel weird. xD You're doing great, it's always fun to see this sort of thing. xD
Great video. Nice to see the Wallangarra train trip from a different perspective. Loved the Drone shots until, ( clango & bango) I hope it recovered . There is just something different and special about our narrow gauge QLD steam locos., especially the C17s. Keep up the good work. Very enjoyable.
Hey annyer262, the couplers used on the couplers are called Willison Automatic Couplers, they have been manufactured locally at Bradken and are now purchased from China. Interesting to see other railways use the same style of couplers!
