I have been filming since 1971, firstly cine film until 1983. From 1988 until now, I progressed through Video8, Hi-8, digital video, including DVCam and since 2010 High Definition footage in widescreen. Most content is Australian BUSES TRAMS TRAINS, but there are many overseas trips to the UK, Western & Eastern Europe (including the USSR), USA, Canada, Mexico, Cuba, South Africa, Morocco, India, Asia, Fiji and New Zealand, from 1974 to date. Watch previews of Australian DVD and blu-ray programs at the www.trainpictures.com.au website and those in stock can be ordered from the link below.
Great! There is something special about Sydney (and Nagasaki) trams at night - particularly full ones. I've been trying to (re)create a "mind's eye" of such scenes from my youth. This is pretty close.
These are skills that are at another level which are really appreciated and admired. At least other motorists appear help out though am surprised that they do not use shorter coaches?
There once was an actual QR station called Gloucester Street Station there but it has obviously been removed by 1980. The Cleveland Line to Lota would be electrified by 1982 and reopened to Cleveland by October 1987. The line beyond Lota was closed prematurely just a week after it had been issued 2000 class railmotors in October 1960.
Many of the old busses are actually hand me downs from Australia and New Zealand with those buses being sent to Fiji after being retired from service in their original networks! The oldest ones were built in the 1950s! :)
Great catch Greg! In all my decades of rail fanning..I've never heard a loco with pre-ignition, or what ever the hell is going on with that poor old 48! Last time I was at Ardglen, it was nothing but coal, so not very interesting. Cheers Gregg.
The countryside doesn’t look that different from northern England and parts of Scotland and Wales. It’s certainly a beautiful vista. Thanks for sharing this, the old EEs sound great👍

Great video, used to live in Leichhardt in the late 80's and used to watch the trains along that goods line. So many great memories. Good to see that it's still being used, unlike the one at Ropes Creek.
So much 'classic QR' gone forever, the EE's, the 1460's, the 1520's, the blue and dove grey scheme (best in my opinion), thank you for the memories from this video :)
There was no need to rip up most of the system when the trams were added, it was a real pity. Sydney Harbour should be a working industrial harbour. Otherwise we may as well rename it Parramatta River all the way to the heads.
well, that was intreresting. it looks like the trams are standard gauge. and a 1940 tram in hiroshima. better get the geiger counter on to that one. i noticed there were two people at the front of some yet there are self service machines. why two drivers? they are obviously not prejudiced about older trams. i also thought i detected that there wasnt continuously welded rail. i think melbourne tram rail is all cwr.
@@busestramstrains5819 yes, looks like a trainee driver to me. I first thought it was a trainer/supervisor, but the driver seems to be young so is probably a trainee.
