Ride a EMD G8C along the Sydney Goods Line to Rozelle Yard in April 1993, with flashbacks and flash-forward scenes, at Haberfield to the light rail. Scenes at Rozelle in 1993 and today.
Did a lot of electrical (hi voltage & o/h switching gear) maintenance at Rozelle, Darlo, Flemo & Enfield yards back in the 70s. Dangerous places if you didn’t know what you were doing. Thanks for posting, enjoyed the memories.
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.
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.
Jimmy Bruce, legend, still going with PN, seen him at Bathurst last year on 8122 freight to Port Botany. Was that John Harnetty also in the video, sounded like his voice. Excellent valu that video, a real blast from the past! Thank you very much Greg!
5:20 S trucks still in use, nice touch. I thought non-bogie rollingstock (single axle) has disappeared altogether by 1984. Never seen so many V/Line boxcars together like that before. Not in NSW anyway.
