Great clip

Listening to the sounds from around 4:10 onwards was like ASMR. I felt like a baby being rocked to sleep. Brought me back to my high school days riding those trains to and from school. No smartphones for distraction - just (unintentional) mindfulness. It was also noticeable how much simpler and shorter the announcements were on arrival to each station (not just the name of the station, but all of the other things they mention these days involving safety/curtesy/common sense) alongside all the extra beeps and bleeps associated with the doors opening and closing

From Dutton ok to the Island has had a 3 Rd road for years now . This is an old video from the 90 IES or there abouts .

Back then the seats were really squishy and very comfortable now they are hard firm and very uncomfortable on the new train sets in qld

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 what I see here!!! I got "dragged" to Brisbane as a 14 year old kid in '88 from Sydney instead of going to Oz Steam '88, but *_OH THE MEMORIES_* of then, 1995, and later Brissy trips!!! 💖💖

Wow impressive 😅😊

Ah back when the emu windows weren’t all keyed

I love the 80s EMU my first ride on EMU from ipswich to ekka in early 80s i was awe with sound and the A/C, What a memory lane of Expo 88 it was the best time

As a kid, every time the electrification failed or they just put em on for extra capacity, I was so stoked to score a diesel haha

Tickets ,please ,tickets. Hang on I'll just change the date with a Bic pen lid by embossing a number 1 next to what's on there

What is the loco at the front I feel like it’s the one I saw at the Ipswich workshop railway museum

The trains weren't fully electrified until 1993, but nonetheless, I like steam trains the best!

As a loco maintainer (electrical) in Townsville at the time, I remember these locomotives very well. Three years after this video was made there were none of these Clyde locomotives left on the coal fields. Electrification took over and all these locos moved to general freight duties throughout Queensland. Anyone working in loco maintenance at the time probably breathed a sigh of relief. That influx of Clydes into the state signalled the end of the era of English Electric locomotives (Pommies). These Clydes were far superior in design and and much easier to maintain as well as possessing a higher level of reliability.

Single Track between Gladstone and Rockhampton my there must have been alot of delays with all the crosses of coal trains! Now days its still prone to delays but on electrified double track! It really needs Quad Track 2 for coal and 2 for everything else.

amazing to see some of the EMUs still operational sadly they'll all be gone soon...but also amazing to see Brisbane back in the past, I was born in 2001, but so much has remained the same its quite remarkable to see

Thanks for Sharing Russell

Aldoga is very very different these days.

Amazing historical video especially the Pinkenba line at the end. Thanks for uploading.

thought that was a 1551 class at 08:17 ish 👍

Who can thumbs down Brisbane history caught on Camera. I was born in Brisbane and will always be a very special place for me.

The train service to Pinkenba was supposed to be electrified, but it never came into fruitition

This is incredible footage you've captured here. Thanks for uploading it to UA-cam!

7:44 Is this where the Canberra hotel was?

So many things have changed. And so much infrastructure gone... and they call it progress. Do you think the politicians of today really know what they have lost? And We the people have let them get away with having torn down, sold off, or run into the ground just about every public owned Utility. 20yrs Service with what's left of QR. Nothing like the 24yrs my Dad have them 1971 - 1995.

Pinkenba station! :)

Glimpses of Expo 88 are exciting. And I remember the green and blue colored seats. Was wondering what the signs announcing the trains looked like...which was interesting. But in many ways, things are remarkably similar 31 years later.

Brisbane Limited passing at 3:30.

I loved the Diesel engine at the end to Pinkenba. Thanks for sharing!

do you have the full video?

Love it especially the EMU's without yellow warning ends and doors and those seats blue check and green check - so 1970's

Don’t care. Cars are better. To get places location

Amazing! Especially enjoyed the Clyde footage at the end

So many memories. Thanks for posting

If you have more qr suburban videos please please post them!!

Driver, Bluff about then

An unrepeatable scene. Not to mention a Trip that actually had a photo run-bys...

Quart Pot Creek.

I have great memories of this going to work with Dad on Coalies like this in Coppabella. A bit of a misnoma, but we had 6 Headers(3x Locos in the lead 3x in the middle with LRC) up on the Goonyella system where as the Blackwater system only had 5 Headers . The more locos you had the more the multi-unit allowance, Coppabella and Jilalan were highest paid Depots. Great footage of the Job when the Railway was Great place to work. Hope you have others Russell. I'm sure Graham would. Cheers.
