This is a media platform that is dedicated to the reseach industrial history in Australia, with a specific focus on railways, electricity, mining, water infrastructure. Although railways will be a major focus, it is clear that they do not exist in isolation. For example railways are an integral component of the supply chain in mining processes and they are often powered by electricity, which can be generated by water power. Roads and railways are also important to farming and the timber industries, hence the site will also cover antique farm machinery and general road transport. Although this site is devoted to the history of mining, it aims to remain neutral in the climate change debate.

Dude slow the text so people can read it
Thanks for your comment, yes that is a weakness of some of my videos. I'm planning to re-do this video and fix some of the errors.
Great work Stephen - I love the rail history and what remains .
You are very kind, thank you
Usual looking working bee
Lovely video, lovely shots, and lovely locomotives.
You're very kind
i think that was a fun time watching trains thank you your fan enoch from queensland
Both those locomotives are stunning. I love the Maroon of 3265. I also love the native flora of the southern highlands
3265, is doing shuttles in the Illawarra this weekend
Great video Stephen but please allow time for people to read the text
Agree with other comments about reading time. I don't agree with them about audio. I much prefer hearing as is, than with annoying commentary, or worse, music.
I worked at Barraba Station as a relief station assistant for one of the two Baker brothers that used to work there in 1983. If I remember correctly I help ticket the last goods training out off Barraba.
Could you run a private inspection car on this line?
No, there are numerous sections where the rail has been removed or trees growing in the four foot, track buried etc
👍👍👍👍🍺THANK YOU.
I lived in Glenbrook in the 60's and the tunnel was used to grow mushrooms and prior to that it was used to store ammo WWII. On the downward end there were the best blackberries.
Interesting story, thanks for sharing
A lovely little video notice the work of the train vandals destroying property.
Those damn Emu's
Moore wasted hard work and infrastructure and money it bucks and so do responsible.
Nice pictures thanks Stephen.👍👍👍👍🍺
You have some sensational shots on this video, beautiful.
Thank you very much!
The gatekeepers hut should be restored
Interesting - Well done. Looking forward for the next videos.
You're welcome
Thank you for this video. Not many people know about its history. So much we don't know about Australia's past.
They should bring a 620/720 railmoter and clear up a tiny bit of the line at Toronto and make it a heritage museum of the line. The train could do shuttles between Blackalls Park and Toronto and if popular they could extend to fassifern.
Not very interesting. Your labels/notations are displayed too short especially the longer ones. Most of the scenes are meaningless to anyone who hasn;t been there.
Well thanks for your feedback, I didn't have a great camera when I took the image and the software is old, I'm hoping to re-do in the future, this sort of feedback will help make a better video
Saw a video recently that the tunnel has been cleaned up and not sure if it is opened the the public.
There is a proposal to develop a bike trial though the tunnel, I'm unsure if the public are able to access it or not
NICE THANK YOU.👍👍👍👍
You are very kind, I appreciate it
Driven across some of these bridges thank you.🤠
👍👍👍👍🍺
Another rail line that should never have been closed Nsw😡😠🤬 gov should close the rest of the regional & country lines & buy some more buses thank you.
Great video util you cut off the last train. I wanted to see what was on the end.
Yes this was unfortunate, I used the MS video editing program, which tends to freeze up if I load any more than about five shorts scenes. I hope to re-do these videos once I learn a more sophisticated program. Wait to 2025.
@@australiasindustrialage689 Practice makes perfect. the more you get out there and record and get used the equipment your videos will be way better . I have seen that in others that I have looked at over the years good video otherwise 😀
There's a lot of nice old bridges round that area
Yes, the region was settled in the early days of the colony, hence the age of the bridges
@@australiasindustrialage689 yea, I was around the area a bit last year, a lot of interesting historic buildings
I use to live in Morpeth don't know if this things are still there 2:29 around where your standing there are rail tracks still in the ground crossing the road between the school and the dog park that use to go into Bakers Brick Works 3:28 Where the house is to the left is where Raworth Train Station was the platform was buried under landfilled in the late 1990's when the house was built you can still see end part of platform when you turn to go onto Morpeth RD 3:39 Queens Wharf Station Platform use to be on the other of those hay bails there was a stairway to the station ticket box that is now a garden or tool shed to the house to the far right you can see it from Morpeth RD 5:18 The tracks continued pass the Loco sheds and the old Oak Butter Factory to another Station called Edward Street Station. Near Morpeth Station was the Flower Mill it was pulled down in the early 80's after a fire the sand stone blocks used for mills walls are stored near East Maitland Station at the oval in a fence off yard
That video is my first and it is very rudimentary compared to what to videos I'm producing now. I'm hoping to reproduce that video soon, and I hope to provide more information. Thanks for that info, I appreciate it.
Good bridges at Morpeth and Woodville also. Lots of neat bridges in The Hunter.
Without an informative narrative WHAT IS THE POINT ????? Otherwise A great vid.
Awesome 👍
That Monkerai shot is amazing, keep up the good work
Beautiful shot at the end!
😚 P r o m o S M
wow this is very nice
My dad worked at Liddell and now at Bayswater
very nice work
You are very kind!
This is a wonderful work.
Is this series only covering NSW rail?
Not necessarily, I would cover other states if I could get there. The term is designed to make it easy for people to find it on the internet. E.G Electric trtains in Australia
👍👍👍👍
wow great work. this would have to be my favourite train line. & the v sets are always nice.
Thank you very much!
Thanks for the video. I also drove these routes and each of the vehicles seen in the clip. 2015-19
I was at Thornton depot in early 2010s
Beautiful scenery and well framed
Glad you enjoyed it
I am making a special edition version of a train documentary I've made with a number of other video photographers. Would it be alright to use your footage without the text? You will be credited for the footage. Thanks for your time, and hope to hear from you.
Go ahead!
@@australiasindustrialage689 Thanks so much. The segment is uploaded at set to premiere this Tuesday, with part 2 the next day. I'll be doing the parallel run after. They will be on the group channel, AusRails Records. You'll be credited as promised.
Yes that is fine
Would be good to see Richmond Vale railway join on at Weston again now that smr is now disused would also be good at steam fest run locos between the two locations
My childhood home! Thanks for the memories 👍
Thank you for your kind word, that's wonderful to here, it's a beautiful town and it would have been a great place to be nurtured, SM
These old right of ways should be cleaned up and made for use as walking trails etc. bj.
Agree, they are a valuable asset, we cant' afford to lose them
I am 80 how many years do I have to wait till it happens
