It is hard work but the steam drivers do a wonderful job as do the people that work behind the scenes and keep them running. Glad you enjoyed the ride 👍 😀
Thanks for sharing. When we were there in 2016, Woolshed Flat had another road (now bitumen) and there was a small passenger platform about the length of the rail motor on which we were travelling. Onto to Quorn.
They still run a railmotor to woolshed flat as well as this longer trip. Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😊
G'day, the gradient pull up the steam train up quick must be quite steep in places? Hope you weren't shoveling the fuel into the firebox, that countryside is fantastic and the weather is as well, love that area, can't wait for the next episode, cheers mate, Neil 🤠.
It does get a little steep along the line. Glad you enjoyed the ride 👍 😀
I would assume that the loco on this is an oil burner as a reliable and cost effective coal supply would be a logistical nightmare
@@graememellor8319 it not actually an oil burner but runs on coal. 👍😀
WOW cheers for that @@driver667
@@graememellor8319 👍😀
That sounds like hard work. I haven’t been in that area since I was a kid (a long time ago) Good video
Very happy to hear you enjoyed the ride 👍 😀
That Waukarie Creek bridge at Woolshed Flat is a real beauty.......🌉🌉🌉🌉🌉🌉
It certainly is impressive 👍😀
There has been a lot of sleepers replaced. Question 1, what is the speed limit on the bridges, 2 were the drain cocks on the cylinders open?
I wasn't the driver on this train. My camera went for a ride. I don't have an answer for you on this run unfortunately as I am not qualified on this railway. 🤔👍😊

When we rode the train it run only to Woolshed flat then the train was turned around on the triangle we all had to disembark Mum and Dad were allowed to stay on the train because mums knees were no good looking forward to part 3
They run trips to woodshed flat as well as some trips the full length like this one. Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😊
Great video, I'm one of the volunteers responsible for PRR's marketing, would there be any chance of us taking a copy of this footage? Thanks 667!
Yes, that can be arranged. Send me an email and we'll chat. 👍😊
Expect one soon!@@driver667
👍😊
Geez doesn’t the place just look so dry. Even the ground looks parched. No wonder the engine was rasping.
It certainly is dry but very nice scenery at the same 😀👍
I hope nobody gets upset that I watched part 2 before part 1.
@@martythemartian99 oh no.... just don't do it again... 🤔👍😂
