Fernleigh Track
Fernleigh Track is an abandoned rail line that stretches from Belmont to Adamstown approx 100+ kilometres north of Sydney.
Passenger train services started in 1897 and ceased in 1991.
The Belmont branch was then converted into a rail trail called Fernleigh Track.
Platforms were restored at:
Belmont
Jewells
Redhead
Whitebridge
(There's one here i couldn't find that starts with K)
Adamstown
You will see these Platforms in the video.
You will also see the Fernleigh loop track and the disused rail tunnel along the way.
Filmed in May 2016
I really hope they reopen the line one day, or even run a light rail service down the track. Thanks for the video Phil.
passenger services finished in the early 70's, my older brother caught the train to whitebridge high . I remember playing on the track and around fernleigh tunnel in the late 60's early 70's
It's beautiful. The tunnel is like a piece of art. Thanks.
Platform 3 at Adamstown was never connected to the Belmont line it was used for a relief line for freight trains entering Broadmeadow rail yards. Belmont trains stopped on Adamstown platform 1 heading to Belmont and on platform 2 heading to Newcastle. There was a crossover just north of Adamstown station before the junction to Belmont and I believe that it is still there today.
Passenger services ended in the early 70s which marked the end of the Belmont to John darling colliery section..
I enjoy watching these walking videos especially on a rainy day.
wow I use to as a kid jump on the coal carriages at Adamstown to go out to Belmont to the beach, and remembering having to walk from Belmont to Adamstown.
My pop used to jump on the back of the trains to get into town and sometimes just for fun
I never knew any of this was there and I used to live at Redhead for years lol
Great video. Thank you!
I had no idea that there was even an Adamstown to Belmont railway branch. Great video and thanks for the information.
I watched a video some time ago of the last train from Darling Colliery. Was a sad sight(being a rail buff) as the line was still being used for coal haulage up until that point. I'll have to try and find the video, but if my memory serves me correctly there was still a modest passenger service running until that point. The photo source mentioned on the information signage (Adamstown via Fernleigh) is a recommended read for anyone wanting in depth history of the line.
the station that starts with K is Kahibah
Thats Awsome
i was there last night
i have to correct you passengers services ceased in 1971 not 1991 cheers good video
Great video, keep up the good work! I do have a question, Are there abandoned home developements in Australia like there are here in the US?
Mate Your abandon videos are good but you should redo the videos this time with a Go Pro to your helmet and riding a Bike so your videos can be more fluid
during my aus holiday i might film the first 60 minutes of walking distance from the adamstown end.
The one you did not remember with K is Kahibah
