Thanks for Sharing! Beautiful Town and Nice Voice.
Some excellent train catches there, and thank you for showing Kerrabee no 1 tunnel, very difficult to get pictures of the Ulan line tunnels at all!!
Excellent thanks so much for your documentary on this area
Glad to see you back at it again Lawrence.
Hi Lawrence, that run down the range from Rylstone to the Bylong Valley is a cake walk. I have been up and down it several times. My wife was born in Rylstone back in 1946. If you want e really scenic and windy road to travel try the Oxley Highway from Wauchope, just west of Port Macquarie, up the escarpment to the table lands and on to Walcha. Now that is some spectacular country. I have travelled both roads towing a 24 foot caravan many times. Thanks for sharing
Love your filming, will be doing this trip very soon. Live well.
👍👍👍👍☕🍩Thank you.
Beautiful peaceful place Isn’t it Lawerence
Please thanks Lawerence
Awesome video mate. What accent do I pickup ? 😉
Thanks for the great tour of my New England country, as I have lived in NZ for many years.
It wouldn't be a huge effort to reinstate it.
Lovely, passionate description. Thank you.
Wonderful, entertaining video.
I drive alongside this line a lot for work, some great old bridges, the one north of Tenterfield is beautiful but sadly badly decayed !!
well done i enjoyed it very much , i love history
15:49 in the video, the little concrete pot you found would contain a survey marker for the correct measurement to the face of the rail. These were referred to by staff as "monuments"....no idea of the etymology. Love your work!
My Father lived in Uralla during the 1960's and knew people who had been alive when Frederick Ward was 'bushranging'. He is adamant that Fred was only ever known as 'Thunderbolt', the term 'Captain' was added long after his death in a book written by a novice historian. I remember as a child we all referred to 'Thunderbolt's Rock' just outside of Uralla, never as 'Captain Thunderbolt's Rock'. It was the Bushranger Frank Pearson in far Western NSW, who named himself 'Captain Starlight'.
Wonderful in the Australian Bush.Thank you,
Thanks so much for sharing. Sad, but so beautiful..
Good job Lawrence loved the video.
Why does title say New England? There is a New England in another country besides Northeast USA?
Search for New England on WIKIPEDIA and get your possible answer
No chance of this ever being re-opened, at present there is a new rail link (freight only) being built to the west of this line from Melbourne to South-East Qld, through Albury, Narrabri, Goondiwindi and ending at Kaguru where it meets up with the Coastal line. The Western route makes far more sense as a lot of the route is very flat and towns are few and far between.
If anyone is interested in doing a similar trip to check out the same railway infrastructure do yourself a favour, take a half day off this line and check out the Railway viaduct in the town of Manilla 45ks Northwest of Tamworth. It is now heritage listed. Guyra cold? not wrong there. Pulled up 3-4 years ago in July, got out of my car and there was some white flakes floating around.

thank you so much Aims
An excellent video; thank you.
Well done appreciate your effort Somewhat melancholy to see destruction of a rundown railway system as roads get destroyed by heavy truck usage
My first job was on the NSW Railway as a junior porter and I was transferred to Tenterfield from Narrabri Westthe late and famous singer , Peter Allan is buried here , plus a motel stands in the main street named after Peter Allen !
A well made video, does the views it deserves, but good documentation.
I see that there is now a push to have this railway line re-opened all the way to Tenterfield and possibly to Wallangara.
It's Gullgong, not Goolgong
This was a great video
Many memories , both rail and road , I watched the 911 bombing of the twin towers at the Wallangarra Road house , ( Something that I'll never forget 😪!
Looks like Gladys and Johns smoke in the air.
Camp ground is not free we ask for a ten dollar donation to help the community keep the sport grounds going we maintain all sports ground and church ourselves
As I arrived I checked with your store at Bylong when found to be shut!! I looked around and could not locate where to pay. I apologise for the false comment. please advice address and will send money. Lawrence.
Hi mate,another great video
Living overseas now but always remember beautiful friends
Value your friendship mate
Keep up the fantastic info,Try and catch up again one day,.keep healthy my dear friend,cheers glenn
Use German siemens trains, they are small and tilt in sharp bends to go fast. I have been on many. They can be the size of a few busses and diesel electric.
I hope it will not become a bike trail. It is about time Australia makes small high speed light tilt trains serve the little towns. It is an insult to the rail workers to turn these tracks into bike paths, for the sake of a fade
Imagine how much new rail infrastructure would decrease the roads toll, and people would get to their destinations relaxed. Thanks for the video.
If only these old tracks could be revived, all the way to QLD
Very interesting and enjoyable. Thank you
How many people will use this bike trail.Very few -Tenterfield needs trains again Not a bike trail.
The captioning tells the story very plainly. Without a rail service, towns like Tenterfield and Armadale will die off and become *ghost towns* but state governments of both parties couldn't give a shit about any rail services beyond Newcastle or Wollongong.
Sorry 30 years after the rail closed down the City of Armidale (20,000) and Tenterfield are doing fine, there is also a major highway (New England). All the Towns and Cities on the New England Highway and other major routes are doing fine.
State governments, both Liberal and Labor should be *ROUNDLY CONDEMNED* for the *CRIME* of shutting the stations on the Great Northern Railway and allowing the towns to die off.
Great narrative for this beautiful cemetery
Beautiful, thanks for sharing
Much appreciated Angelo. thank you
Great footage and narration, I love the selection of music!
