Приєднався 1 бер 2021
Ever since I was a child growing up on the outskirts of Sydney I have been fascinated by the XPT. This train in particular holds many great memories for me but the best of all is of my Mum taking me down to the train line at Ingleburn (way back in the 1980s) to watch them fly by & give the drivers a wave.
Over the years the XPTs remained a constant in my life taking me to & from places I lived at & visited but they were very much just there & in the background.
In late 2016 my beloved mother passed away & I found great comfort in going out to see the XPTs again - now most times accompanied by my wife - & still giving the drivers a wave. In 2020 we bought a house right across from the train line so I can see out the final years of the XPT & I never waste an opportunity to go out & film them.
I hope people enjoy the videos & that a true sense of just how great this train is comes through.
Thanks, Damian.
