On 20th February 2003 we returned to the Parkes to Cootamundra line to follow more Bulldogs along the line.
The video opens with a clip of CLP8, CLP11 and CLP13 on AS4 arriving at Parkes with a load of grain from South Australia for stock feed in drought affected areas of NSW.
The grain wagons were then remarshalled behin GM43, CLP9 and 42219 for shipment to Junede. We follow it along the line to Stockinbingal where it crosses the PN steely and then through to Yeo Yeo.
To cap off the day we next travelled back to Weedallion to meet CLF6 and CLP12 with another load of grain from Parkes to Temora. We follow it to Stockinbingal with our final clip being its departure for Temora after sunset..
A long day, but seven bulldogs and a 422 made for a very memorable trip.
Videos in the Along Closed Lines series were originally shot in 4 x 3 Standard Definition and have been upscaled to High Definition and reformatted to widescreen. They generally cover movements that can now no longer take place.
