    What was the real reason for the Sunlander's decommissioning in December 2014
    ?

      Low patronage plus rolling stock needing replacement, so QR decided to go with the more modern style tilt train.

      I think it was because of Campbell Newman and his pitiful excuse for a Liberal-National State Government that the Sunlander was decommissioned!

    Nice clip. Did you manage to catch what the wording on the headboard was?
    Interesting. though, the last Brisbane Limited on 11/02/1990 also left Roma Street with 3 locos. Is 3 the magic number when it comes to final runs I wonder?

      Farewell
      The Sunlander
      61 - Years of Service
      Brisbane - Cairns
      1953 - 2014
      We saw it come in at Roma St and the sign was gone - might have been souvinered by one of the crew

    I had a friend who was on that very last Sunlander. He voted Campbell Newman and his sorry excuse for a government out of office at the 2015 Queensland State Election.

    Great historical footage of 1489 as part of the final Sunlander. I hope you dont mind I have shared it on the facebook page for Lander Station - the new home of 1489.
