  • Getting up close and personal with all things Railway in Australia! Freight trains, tourist trains, passenger trains, rail fans, building and maintenance.
    A 1.5 kilometres long super train travels one of the longest, toughest runs in Australia. George Savell feels the pressure as he tries to keep millions of dollars of iron ore on the tracks, and Leigh Johns and Wil Kemp receive an unexpected passenger as their vintage locomotive tackles a tropical mountain range.

Do you remember Darryl Eastlake and his style of commentary? I think he was the guy that made things change. I'm not saying he was a bad guy (far from it), but he made everything sound so big.

    Australia is approximately 7.74 million sq km, while the United States is approximately 9.83 million sq km, making the United States 27% larger than Australia. Australia has over 33,000km of track compared with the United States which has the largest rail transport network size of any country in the world, at a total of approximately 260,000 km (160,000 miles)... less than 13%.

    Where are all the 'Dorkys' which make things work? In USA 'Dorkys' must be on a job no matter the cost. Maybe Australia should hire 'Dorkys' to be paid to just to be drinking partners. Cheers!

    I was looking forward to this documentary but got fed up with the narrator waving his willy about and the incessant jump cuts. " It's hot! There's dragons! The train is 60 miles long! Here comes a flood! It's hot!" Quick, jump to a picture of a train crash. "It's hot! The train is a 1000 miles long! Watch out for the 50ft high cattle with machine guns!" Quick, jump to a map with a big wooshy noise! Fuck a duck, modern documenatry's do my head in.

    Australia should contribute to the planets use of food and oil with all that land. The country that produces very little but uses mass resources.

      No problem. Can you please bring a hundred million gallons of fresh water once a month?
