I enjoyed that, I think a couple of those QR stainless steel rail motors at the very start of the video found their way to Zig Zag Railway near Lithgow NSW? Great scenery and the time when steam engines were on the way out, excellent work, thank you and to Ken Anderson.
Please..basahin naman po sana yung title ng husto. Hindi po sinabi sa title na 1950's era. Ang title po ay "1970's Mainly Manila, 50 years ago, which is correct. We are in the 2020's, so..50 years ago from 1970's.Substraction lang po. At basahin din po sana yung explanation or definition nung video.
Thanks for uploading this. Very interesting. This was filmed 7 years before I was born. At 3:22 there is the old WW2 bomber plane on display? Does anyone know where this was and where the plane might be now?
Perfect time to be alive in Perth Western Australia. I was hoping to see the lights that were on the old brewery that was on Stirling Hwy. But this bought tears to my eyes, seeing this makes me feel old
I have heard the BCC was pressured to get rid of the trams by the state government of Mr Corruption Bjelke-Petersen because the energy companies were paying him big bucks under the table to stop all trams and switch to buses
We went there in the 1980's. Back when people enjoyed even the simple things like Merry-go-rounds ... My friends used to Drive the steam engines years ago as well.
@@johnmccnj Thanks for the update. Instantly recognisable...now that I know what it is. Probably 36 years since I've seen one. Used to work on them all the time at the Townsville diesel shed. Thanks for the link as well.
@@Steampete12 , if you are talking about the Paw Paws when you mentioned 1503, then , the Paw Paws changed numbers several times. The number 1503 that you mentioned were Clyde Locos, of which 29 were built, and had 12 cylinder GM motors and weighing 90 tons, but the Paw paws were originally 1500 class & there were 12 initially built, by AEI. they were a 6 cylinder Cooper Bessemer motor, and only had 4 traction motors with articulated bogies and weighed 60 tons. In later years they were renumbered 1170 Class. I was an Engineman for many years, about 46 to be exact, and I know the locos I worked on.
The real Manila is gone. Died in 1945 during its liberation from Japanese forces. History and heritage lost. Its modern now yes but it has lost its soul. Centuries of Spanish colonization, modern development under American occupation, gone.
Miss my growing years of the 60s and 70s in the Philippines. Left in 1983 and visited in 2006. Everything has changed. Wala ng lahat kakilala ko, and I realized then, I don't belong anymore. Everything in this video was how I remembered everything from my youth.
Nakakalungkot ang sinapit ng maynila lalo at nakikita mo kung gaano kaganda ito noon. Ngayon, gawa ng mga perhuwisyong mga iskuwater, adik, illegal vendor at mga masasamang elemento na pabigat sa lipunan, para nang malaking basurahan ang maynila. Kahit anong clearing ang gawin ng gobyerno walang epekto gawa ng mga an8mal na yan na puro basura ang iniiwan. Sila pa ang nangunguna at masigasig pagdating sa ayuda ng gobyerno!🤬🤬🤬
Isn't it interesting that up to the 1960s you could travel from Brisbane-South Brisbane to Southport by train, but when they opened the new line it only goes to Varsity Lakes, no wonder the train to the Gold Coast are not popular with anyone.
I would have been 9 when I saw this movie at Mr Way's house. This and his park map gave me an incurable love of all things Disney. Have not made it to the ORIGINAL as yet, but had been to Florida and Tokyo Disney's - both as an adult - and had a BALL. Nothing on earth can compare to the boat breaking down in "It's A Small World" for an hour, but NOT the music ;) Thank you Mr Way.
Most of this video (from 2:22) is WA bauxite operations at the Jarrahdale mine and Kwinana alumina refinery. The XC class bauxite hoppers were built by WAGR's Midland Workshops, not Comeng, and remain in service today.
I was there in 81 or 82 and actually did some work for the Holiday Inn that was shown and also one called the Holiday Inn South. In resent years when visiting Vegas I have tried to figure out where that HI South was located. It was just a run of the mill HI nothing special. Back then the airport was of course much smaller and it seemed to be quite a bit south of the strip.
Wow what a beaut film, new belly dump wagons for Weipa. I never worked there but have worked with blokes who have and they all said they loved it. Especially the fishing.
Film starts at Townsville. 1:21 is the "Inlander" departing Townsville for Mt Isa. 2:03 is Nelia, about 60km east of Julia Ck, and the Nelia Pub. 2:14 is Julia Creek with the Julia Ck hotel and the coal stage. 2:50 to 8:45 is the new Cloncurry railway station (under construction) and desiel sheds and yard which opened in 1966. 8:46 is Rockhampton. The "Midlander" (Rockhamton to Winton) is being readied for departure. 9:20 to 12:05 with the DH loco is Gympie. 12:06 to 13:25 is Cairns and the "Sunlander" (Cairns to Brisbane). 13:28 ? 15:01 is Yarwun (between Gladstone and Rockhampton) 16:30 is coming into Rockhampton 17:10 is Denison St Rockhampton train travelling north past Archer Park station, crossing Fitzroy River then Parkhurst station at end of film. This train was probably a second division Sunlander where they used non airconditioned coaches in busy holiday periods. Great film with lots of memories there.😀
God Joh did good for this state. All those factories railways and had the entire Network rolling off Steamers in 58 to Completely retired in 70. Need someone like him back
Some of the Cloncurry footage is out of sequence. You can see a brand new and operating Cloncurry station, and then later you see it under construction. The footage from 7:54 to 8:45 (Hudswell Clarke No.3) is taken at Mt Isa.
Great video, thanks for this! The quality of the video is great! This is the perfect stage of development for Disneyland. The new Tomorrowland was up and running, the old rides like Mine Train were still there, New Orleans Square was open, and the monorail was amazing and went to the hotel. I remember staying at the Disneyland Hotel in the mid-80's. It was set up so nice for the hotel guests. There were the original 2-story rooms built right next to the monorail station. then called The Garden Villas, with huge picture windows, great A/C and no food lol. 100 dollars a night! You could be inside the park in seconds. It's all been destroyed by the rapacious new owners; and is sad to see this park as strange as it is now.
As of today, im 25 years old, and watching this makes me wonder why does it sucks to live here right now. Why did this country develop (infrastructure) in the shitty way?
0:02 / 9:32 These "G" wagons can be seen in service in Mr. Cino Travels video "1971 QR Coal Wagon - Qld Railways" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oLgD4r5hCCA.html
The first wagons shown in the video are Quensland railways "G" wagons built for coal haulage on the "Goonyella to Hay Point Line. The second ones are definitely bauxite wagons, but built for the Western Australian Government Railways.
@@jackstanton8212, Yes Comeng at Salisbury built 60 bauxite wagons for Comalco at Weipa, with further deliveries to bring the total supplied to 90. But they are not the wagons in the video.
