Ive been layed up unwell on the couch at home and going through youtube. So having pleanty of spare time, I went through this video and really enjoyed it. Its great to see the trackbed is maintained in great condition! Long live the coal traffic! I fetched a map, so I could track the video locations. Ive never done the Midland Line but do recognise some locations from books and videos. That wide open valley just beyond Craigburn is 'out of this world'
hi, we loved this video, have watched it twice now, the vista is amazing, we hope to do this trip one day but what we would be able to see is nothing like what you put on you tube, the best vista is from the driver's cabin where you get to see the whole panorama, hoping you never delete it from you tube will watch it again, happy Aussie.
What a Great Video this is if i Remember rightly Cass is one of the most Painted Sceneries in NZ possibly the Ocieanic Continent its got Scenery to die for especially when Snow is on the Mountains
I made that trip in 1972. What a great experience. Back then there were a couple of stops at thriving farming communities, but sadly they are all gone now.
Nice ride, though some side or bottom notes would have been better, like train size and composition, max speed vs train recommended max, why the slow downs, etc.
