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

Today the Picnic Train (5917 & 42107 top and tail) was running passenger shuttles from Katoomba to Mount Victoria. Starting the day at Lithgow I got shots at ZigZag, Mount Victoria and Medlow Bath. A huge thanks to all the wonderful crew and volunteers. Hundreds of passengers rode the train and hundreds more lined the rail corridor to wave at the train as it passed. I have never seen more happy...
Golden West Rail Tour - diesel train through Excelsior and Ben Bullen
Переглядів 384Рік тому
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.

Opening shot is brilliant (as are some of the others too!) - lighting just right. Great job. Thanks for sharing.
Great video mate well done
awsome video mate some amazing captures well done
Alex and Paul in that first shot is truly unreal
Was great meeting you out there, my film comes out in about an hour.
Yes, great meeting you too! I look forward to seeing what you publish :)
Great to see
Loving this!!! My favourite 59 class alive and well, and in one of two places they belong. In this case, the North Coast line. The other was the NSW Central West, particularly working Tumulla or Raglan Banks! 😍😍
It's one of the few lines where road traffic can keep up with the train which is great fun. Not many places I can do a steam chase and see it so many times!
DARRENR 🏠 have OK yes ❤
Love this. My favourite NSW steamer doing what she does best. Excellent video and nice location. And, nice to meet you yesterday.
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!
Yeah that's true, they probably need a new train order/new authority to proceed to the end of the line from there.
Promo SM 💔
You really notice the shake when its running slowly, top clip from a top video!
Hi How did you film this and locomotive cab
The short clip from the steam locomotive was sent to me by one of the crew, so I included it in the video :)
That was me at Helensburgh
Awesome! You picked a great spot. It was probably my favourite shot of the whole weekend. The noise it made coming up through that cutting was excellent, and you could hear it for a few minutes afterwards as well.
@@aussietrainman613 100% on the bridge is good to
That’s terrific!
Fantastic footage. Great sounds from the 44 & of course 421
218A looking out of it's little hole. Wondering what all the noise is.
!Nice video. LIKE!
I work at fixing old nsw train cars and we are going to donate them to the picnic train
Nice little video I used to drive the Bathurst bullet over those lines and 42107 while I was at delec keep up the good work on the video.
Great footage!
Saw you whilst you were out filming this one - you certainly got some nice shots especially on the Gwabegar Line. I used a couple of different spots but wasn't keen to go past Rydal.
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.
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.
Beautiful shot at 2:23 coming past the Quarry. What a treat!
Question, how do you get to the Mount Victoria area where you film?
These shots were from Station St between Mount Victoria and Blackheath. It's a poorly maintained narrow gravel road that I would suggest walking instead of driving if you decide to check it out.
I really enjoyed this video, very high production quality. Great work :)
Great video, I forgot to ask you over the weekend if you had a UA-cam channel. Keep the great content coming.
DARRENR 🏠 have OK yes
Hey, you have amazing videos. You're very fortunate to be able to do trainspotting in the areas you do. Ever since I saw your Golden West Chase videos, I've gone through your videos and they are amazing. They are so crisp when I play them on my TV. What camera do you use? Keep it up!
Thank you so much! And yes I do have some great local spots for chasing trains. I shoot on a Sony FS5 Mk2, which will look even nicer when I eventually get a proper video tripod so I can do smooth pan/tilt.
@@aussietrainman613 keep it up, looking forward to new videos
wonderful!
and what a beauty !
your videos are so good well done
'Promo SM'
My uncle, who started my life long love affair with trains, took me to see a C class loco in action not long after they were introduced in the late 70s. It's amazing to think I'm now older than he was in 77/78 and the Cs are still going strong.
This is train no. CA15? I believe. These do Daily Coal runs on the same locomotives with the three leading CEYs and the streamliner duo Space Ghost and Casper in the back. Other than that nice video!!
very cool! i managed to see C502 when I was traveling to Australia a few years ago what a great locomotive!
