SSR Coal Train - Cullen Bullen and Capertee

December 5th 2023 I was out and about and saw SSR's Airly train departing Lidsdale. I decided to get a few shots at Cullen Bullen and Capertee. The train is hauled by CEY 002, CEY 004, and CEY 003. This is normally a completely empty train but for some reason the first 7 wagons still had a full load of coal. 00:00 Cullen Bullen 01:02 Capertee

Golden West Rail Tour - diesel train through Excelsior and Ben Bullen

I thought I'd try some new locations today, and filmed the Golden West Rail Tour train at Excelsior where it came through very slowly for some reason. I then drove to Ben Bullen for a second shot where the train had a bit more speed and power on to climb the hill up to Baal Bone Junction. Locomotives today were 4702, 4708 and 4464.

    I believe the reason the train stopped at Clandulla was so that it could get clearance into Rylstone as there is no sidings or signals into Rylstone. Also great video!

      Ahh yes! I was surprised to see someone else on that leg of the chase, but you were very helpful. A few times I didn't know if I was in front of the train or behind it but seeing you pull up gave me the answer haha.

    • @TheBritFromOz008
      @TheBritFromOz008 Рік тому

      Truth be told, I don’t always know myself; sometimes you just have to hope. Brewongle - Locksley is a fairly safe one though; being a Bathurst local I’ve done it a couple of times. Normally Locksley - Tarana Quarry is as well but not with the current bridgework, hence I substituted Rydal for my original plan of Tarana Station. You can put a chase plan on paper and 9/10 times what you get will be a different 😂. I’d been going after the train since Newbridge; 42107 nose-first was a new sight for me so I was keen to milk every sighting I could get from it.
