    5:15 I know from experience that you can't trust people on the south coast to obey the stop signs at the crossings. Seen a few near misses, and there have been a few collisions in recent years. A dump truck can leave a nasty dent in a railcar.

      It would be nice if they just observed the road rules. 🤔👍😀

    14:43 If anyone is interested, the land on the right side of Middleton Station is for sale. Good place to build your own little trainspotting paradise, and its only $8 million.😵

    If I watch this video three or four times I too will be "qualified for the road". The track needs a good "lift & pack" tamping in places too. A lovely jaunt idling along in one or two notch. Is that Ordinary Train Staff or Train Order Working on that line?

      Train orders is the safe working system along this line. Glad you enjoyed the ride. 👍😀
