Memories rush into my mind! Seems so long ago. Thank you 👍
Graffiti free too !
Wow, thgis brings back memories! I moved to Cairns in 1966 with my parents at the age of 6 and we got there by train from Melbourne including the old Sunlander from Brisbane. We lived opposite the line from Cairns to Kuranda (and beyond) and I grew up loving trains, still do to this day. Thanks for putting this up, really nostalgic... (I live back in Melbourne now, since 1978)
I enjoyed that, I think a couple of those QR stainless steel rail motors at the very start of the video found their way to Zig Zag Railway near Lithgow NSW? Great scenery and the time when steam engines were on the way out, excellent work, thank you and to Ken Anderson.
I was classed to Cloncurry as a driver in 1985 and it looked the same

Film starts at Townsville.
AMAZING FOOTAGE Mate!! All the best Aussie from Buenos Aires, Argentina, Rodolfo
Super interesting.
This film is absolutely amazing. I was born in Gympie going to work with My Dad who was a fireman and driver for QR, we moved to Cloncurry when I was 6yrs in 1983. I joined QR in Cloncurry in 2000 and became a driver in Townsville, I transferred to Emerald and worked into Rockhampton. So this film has lots of nostalgia even though it was before I was born, it was all the placed I have lived and worked with QR. I also appreciate the history as many of my older workmates worked in these depots during this era. Thankyou so much for sharing and I hope you have more footage like this to share. Cheers. 👍👍
Isn't it interesting that up to the 1960s you could travel from Brisbane-South Brisbane to Southport by train, but when they opened the new line it only goes to Varsity Lakes, no wonder the train to the Gold Coast are not popular with anyone.
What was the loco at
