Sob, I want to go back in time to that era.
Brilliant memories of the best years of the North East line, the lovely EMD chant.

Best archival footage i’ve ever viewed - the Australian Summer playing a perfect backdrop .
Bravo . . .

Hi Greg, A tremendous film comprising interesting workings, it is great to see the blue & gold VR livery at a time that it was still in vogue. Also I love those Series 3 X Classes. I appreciate you sharing.
