Train Spotting with Barrie
Australia
Приєднався 20 січ 2022
This channel is dedicated to my father whom spent countless hours documenting life with his video camera, particularly trains and locomotives around Sydney Australia in the late 80s and 90s. He and I got ourselves into many locations and situations that you could only dream of accessing now, from cab rides to yard tours. We post a retro video every Saturday and a modern rail related video every Wednesday to cover everybody’s taste. Enjoy.
Sydney Train Maintenance Depot - DELEC - SRA - 1989
This time we take a detailed look inside the maintenance depot and the shed itself where an array of different diesel and electric locomotives are in for repair. From 46 class electrics, 44s to 81s this video shows a time when the State Rail Authority looked after the rolling stock before privatisation took hold.
If you like going down memory lane to the glory times of NSW Railways stay with us for this great look at our railway history.

Great capture Barrie
Hi Martin, thanks so much. They had a great head of steam up. Thanks for watching.
What class is that?
Hi Northern Fan, these are the single dec EMUs that Sydney used from the 30s to the 90s, based on the Leeds built models. Thanks for watching
Superb😊
Hi, thanks very much for watching.
Video would have been better by playing over the talk in the cabin with music etc Plus you might know where you were going, but most watching does not. Be simple to add names of stations or landmarks in the editing process
Hi Mark, thanks for your suggestions, hopefully you still enjoyed the video on some level. Thanks for watching
@@trainspottingwithbarrie just gave it the thumbs 👍
Great memories,, all very familiar to me, I started there in July 1984 as a trainee engineman and cleaned locos there until I became I fireman.
Hi Trev, I bet you have some great stories to tell. Thanks for watching.
I lived in Grays Point 1959-1974 and walked that line many times as a kid....great memories
Thanks so much for sharing that great memory.
Good clips, thanks for sharing. Cheers.
Thanks for watching!
0:40 3801!?
Hi, yeah it sure was. Thanks for watching.
عفى عليه الزمن 😢😢😢
A lot of people like to see old machinery still working and Steam engines are considered to have more character than more modern trains. The sound is very different & the smell of the Steam & the coal fire can be appealing. The XPT which is now getting old itself has a strong following helped by the pleasant exhaust note of the two power car Diesel engines.
I saw it at central
Nice. I hope you got some great video Chad.
@@trainspottingwithbarrie yeah
Awesome captures Barrie.
Hi Class38s, thanks so much, it's been a while since I've gone out locally for a capture.
Yes awesome, what's the location?
A great little video thanks for the memories of having worked at delec after they closed Enfield remember playing cards in the fuel man s humpy while on shed work.
Glad you enjoyed it. I love those real life stories and experiences thanks for sharing. 😃
DELEC officially closed a couple of weeks or so back, good video of a once proud past Barrie. Haven't seen you out this way yet, looked for you at Condobolin station this morning!
Hi Dave, I've been stuck at home doing renovations to the kitchen so not so easy getting a pass out at the moment 😂
Nice video, thanks for posting.
Hi Jason, thanks a lot. 😃👍
Thank you, Barrie. I just çame across this video, matching up with the 2nd half video.
Hi Codrake, I wasn't sure if you starred in this one, but I'm glad you came across it. It was filmed on the same day as the other part. 👍
Well done, I remember seeing the South Coast Daylight when it was under it's own power. As a kid I'd wonder what the sign on the side that said 'Sand' was all about. Cheers.
They really did look great under their own power, but I did enjoy the diesel hauled era as well.
Riding a red rattler isn't the same on welded rail. The rhythmic clacking every few seconds was hypnotic.
I agree totally, part of the charm.
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Prior to the Bathurst extension, do you know if this station saw any rail car (Broken Hill Explorer?) activity? Or just request Dubbo XPT? In 2009 when I was driving out to Dubbo med school to see my now wife I visited this station and it was much worse for wear. Good to see it looking fantastic!
You're welcome to come chat anytime! The video was very informative and i even learned some new things!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
I caught the train to school from Revesby to St James from 1981 to 1985. So many stories to tell. Sometimes during heavy rains, Wolli Creek would flood from Bardwell Park to Turrella. The water level was way above the wheels and the red rattlers went through without a problem. The waves created was like being on a ferry.
There is a blue steel plaque on a rock on the platform near the signal box in memory of Noel Hawley, a young railway worker (night duty officer) who was shot dead near the signal box by a local drunk on a rampage with a .22 rifle in the 1970's, he left a young wife and baby daughter behind at Lithgow. Surprised that Leanne or one of the old timers at the pub didn't tell you the story. Great clip Barrie, Rydal Show is well worth attending, I used to go each year.
Hi Dave, I did take footage of that plague and may include it in another video, I wanted to keep this video a little on the lighter side, not taking anything off the tragedy. I'm still working out how to talk about "unalive" subjects on UA-cam without being restricted in some way. Thanks so much for your comments as always.
You have done it again, Barrie, and taken us to another railway gem. I have passed this location many times over the years and never given it a thought. Now I feel that I must visit some time soon. Excellent video. Well done, Barrie 👏 👍
What a great video!! Thank you
You are so welcome!
When I first rocked up in Sydney in 1988 the K series are my abiding memory of seeing them along side as I crossed the bridge in the car. Your pic at 3:09 is very evocative - all that aluminium and alot more character than the Tangara IMHO
Hi Barrie 👋 I really enjoyed the real country sounds that transported me to the location. Sounds that are not heard from inside the train. Well done 👏 👍
Hi John, I take a sound recorder with me to most locations to try and capture ambient sounds. There was a bit of wind noise in this one unfortunately but I'm so glad you enjoyed it and that you noticed the details. Thanks again as always.
@@trainspottingwithbarrie I think the wind added to the authenticity of the location and didn't overpower the video at all.
81's were quite advanced for their time!
They really were, I agree. Thanks for watching
Ay glad to see this finallly!! I remeber when you came into the pub! Been keepin an eye out for it!!
Hey Phoenix. That vid is coming in 2 weeks. I'm a bit behind in my releases. 👍
Not being narky Barrie, but I would have inserted the dates the water tower, pumping shed and dual brick viaducts were built, reflecting on Main South rail history, also the date that Gunning station opened. Not everyone would have seen the previous video on Gunning and your history walk. Otherwise, top dollar!
Hi Dave, yeah, I might include more info in the description. As you said I went into depth on those previous vids, but not everyone sees each vid. This one ties up Gunning, moving to another area for next month. Thanks for the feedback 😃
3:35 what did he say?
Hi Bandit, that's the big question, I'm not sure, I actually asked him last week and he's not sure either. 😂
Where abouts is this?
Hi Geoffrey, this is in Enfield, Sydney Australia. Thanks for commenting 😄
Thanks. I didn't realise that the line to Enfield was still electrified.
NO GRETA THUNBERG WAA HARMED IN THIS VIDEO
Hahaha. She was just angry at the fossil fuel use. 😂
Hamburger
In summer they were very stifiling inside.
The 81 was one of the best locos the nsw railway bought and the g was great 👍 with the bigger engine. A great little video.
Hi Robert, I totally agree, both amongst my favorites. Thanks for watching
I’m pretty sure it’s a goanin s set judging from the pointed out front, have you ever been on any comeng s sets? Great vid btw!
A bit of history 😊
Sure is. Thanks Trevor. 👍
Old Sydney was steeped in character and . The rot was about to begin the next year and continues now.
Really gone downhill since 2000
Hello. Do U have phone number. I will send a Video and photo. I got video of close up of Explorer train
Tango? It's Tangara or T set
Hi, it's alliteration "the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words." At this time I was doing Tuesday Tangara posts backed by tango music hence "Tango Tangara Tuesday". Thanks for commenting 👍
@@trainspottingwithbarrie Oh ok😀 I will Subscribe for you
Thanks so much, and please always comment when you can as I love answering questions 👍
Thank you, Barrie. (No.3) This is incredible. I only found out recently of this video clip. A trip down memory lane. Thank you.
Hey no problem, I'm sure there are more floating around. I'll tag you in any new ones. By the way, have you got any idea what you said? It's distorted in the video. I'm glad to share it with you. 👍
@trainspottingwithbarrie When I was typing the comments, I was thinking of asking you the same thing: What was the discussion about?
Hahaha it remains a mystery for the ages, I remember it had been going a while.
Hi Barrie, I found the other part to this video, travelling down on the 73 class with another shunter. Thanks
THE RICHMOND ROCKET 🚂 I remember catching it from Parra to Blacktown once or twice😂
Hi Ian. That must be a great memory. Thanks for sharing.
Was it standard practise to run with locos and carriages from both railways?
Hi Greg, yeah there was a share agreement between crews locos and rolling stock. Thanks for watching
I clicked off the video and came back straight away because I forgot to leave a like! Great footage of run around operations that Sydney will never regularly see again. This video shows many trains and liveries that we’ll never see again, so it’s excellent that they have been captured on camera so that the past of our railways won’t be forgotten. Excellent video Barrie, can’t wait to see what’s next 😊
Hi Coolsoap8, thanks so much, I really appreciate you going back in to like it, without sounding like a UA-camr, it all helps with the UA-cam gods. My whole channel is all about memories and history, thanks again for watching.
Opening scene with the two parcel vans triggered some memories of "Blue Spot" and "Track Fast" parcels. The old days when everyone went for a beer at the Journalists Club or Graphic Arts Club on pay night. Great cab tour of the XPT, they looked best in the original colour scheme back then. Great work Barrie.
I might compile a video dedicated to those cars and service, I'm not sure how much I have on them but it's worth looking at. Always a surprise when one rattled past.
I remember having the doors open whilst travelling 100km/h and sticking my head into the breeze. Also peggi g fruit out of the train and onto the steel centenary support structures and watching them explode on impact. Also of pressing the pressure relief valve when we had pneumatic door closing versions. The sound of the motors revving up with a sharp “ping” when the acceleration atopped and coasted was fun as was the shunting between powered and non powered carriages. The smell of the brakes too was unique. My favourite were the really old rattlers built in the 1920s with triple leaf springs which bounced all over the place and were very loud. I loved the lights which were incandescent and glowed a warm yellow light that was relaxing as a child. Loved the red rattlers and glad to experience the joy of riding them many times. A bygone era where things were made to last.
NO birds were harmed ???? Yeah right.
Hahaha maybe a little. 😃
Nice video. It’s not a joke to call the XPT a High Speed Train, just incorrect. Did the Australian authorities ever call the XPT a high speed train with it’s design speed of 99 mph? Perhaps, since I did hear a tv news presenter say that the XPT replacement trains are going to be bullet trains although they are no faster than the XPT, having the same design speed. The BR IC125 the XPT is based on is now only classed as Higher Speed Rail (up to 125 mph). Though the definition of higher-speed rail varies from country to country, most countries refer to rail services operating at speeds up to 200 km/h (125 mph) as Higher speed Rail. Wikipedia. The XPT with its lower geared power car traction motors has a design speed of 160 km/h (99.4 mph). This is necessary to cope with the hilly terrain the XPT has to traverse. The BR IC125 would not perform well at all in Australia. People who run down the XPT for being slow do not consider the arduous conditions it has to work in, not just the long steep gradients but the poor quality track in places.
Hi, thanks for commenting. Yeah when the XPT was released it was heralded as Australia's high speed train with an advertising campaign saying as much. It was all hype at the time but back then it was substantially faster than anything else NSW had, today that's not so much the case. Thanks for watching 👍
Impressive indeed thanks Barrie for sharing ❤😊
Hi Trevor, thanks so much for the support. 👍
