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

@johnmccnj Год назад

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.

Wow, thgis brings back memories! I moved to Cairns in 1966 with my parents at the age of 6 and we got there by train from Melbourne including the old Sunlander from Brisbane. We lived opposite the line from Cairns to Kuranda (and beyond) and I grew up loving trains, still do to this day. Thanks for putting this up, really nostalgic... (I live back in Melbourne now, since 1978)

So glad it brought back great memories for you!

I was classed to Cloncurry as a driver in 1985 and it looked the same

@darylcheshire1618 8 дней назад

What I remember was a hole cut into the side of the station for an air conditioner damaging the “Cloncurry Railway Station” name board. I asked this kid how far to the town and he replied “about two kilometers-ay”.

This film is absolutely amazing. I was born in Gympie going to work with My Dad who was a fireman and driver for QR, we moved to Cloncurry when I was 6yrs in 1983. I joined QR in Cloncurry in 2000 and became a driver in Townsville, I transferred to Emerald and worked into Rockhampton. So this film has lots of nostalgia even though it was before I was born, it was all the placed I have lived and worked with QR. I also appreciate the history as many of my older workmates worked in these depots during this era. Thankyou so much for sharing and I hope you have more footage like this to share. Cheers. 👍👍

@sidmoore6572 Год назад

I remember these locos, fired them and drove them. I remember Rockhampton as it is in the footage and the sunlander leaving Cairns. Extraordinary. Cheers Sid.

@dieseldavetrains8988 5 месяцев назад

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.

@maple1232 Год назад

Super interesting. Some of the early video look like the old Southport station? Interesting to see the "pug" in blue and red with a yellow spark arrester funnel. Great share thanks.

@mrcinotravels Год назад

Thanks for the info, hopefully, more details can be pieced together!

@deansherry4155 Год назад

The first station with the silver rail motor is Townsville. Home Hill indicates the destination of the train. That service ceased in 1969/70, so the film is no newer than that.

@Bushkid11 7 месяцев назад

0:35 that looks very similar to TGR's dp class railcar

@tobys_transport_videos Месяц назад

QR 1800 class. Not very successful. One power car is preserved at the Rosewood Railway, west of Brisbane, with another former power car and a trailer used as trailer cars on the Gulflander, in Far North Queensland.

What was the loco at 6:40 ? I worked at QR during the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Never seen anything like it.

@johnmccnj Год назад

1170 class loco, also known as "PawPaw's" (after a comic strip character). 12 of them were made, and they worked from the late 50's until the late 80's. There's 5 of them preserved around the state. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queensland_Railways_1170_class

@1960bobthebuilder Год назад

@@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 6 месяцев назад

The number on the loco is 1503. This would make it one of the 1502 class. 29 built in total, this one entered service in 1967 and was scrapped in 2011, according to Wikipedia.

@longtack67 6 месяцев назад

@@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.

@darrenrodneysales5973 Год назад

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.
