Lived in Burnie for 40+ years, my wife is Tasmanian born and bred. We left 7 years ago to be with family in Perth WA and still miss the place but being here has been a literal life saver for both of us. Burnie is still our favourite place in Australia.
There's some very beautiful scenery down in Tasmania. Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😀
I actually had the privilege to be the driver on this train, good video
@@lorakennyvolker1573 great job Kenny. It was a pleasure meeting you. I will be in contact in the future. 👍😀
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This is a gorgeous scenic route, taken on a sunny, excellent day.😀
It is beautiful scenery along here. Very happy you enjoyed it 👍 😀
Nice to see but you cut all the good bits out. I would love to see an unedited video from Devonport to Railton and return from the train. I see it pass my back fence all the time at Spreyton.
@@muddlersworkshop you will get to see it in the future. 👍😀
I’m lucky to have ridden on a special from Burnie to Launceston in the early nineties. In addition to a trip to Roseberry and Helyer mine.
@@darylcheshire1618 Great. 😀 Pity there are no heritage trains these days on the main line in Tasmania with the scenery they have. 👍😀
@@driver667 Does the Don railway group still function? They used to run specials on the main line, probably problems with line access, TasRail are probably not interested in allowing specials to run.
@@darylcheshire1618 Don River railway run trains on their tourist railway in Devonport, Tasmania. Here is the link to a video I made on their railway. 👍😀ua-cam.com/video/-WXfPYrjthk/v-deo.htmlsi=zI4KdvzpuZP_fYJE
@@driver667 Thank you, the trip from Launceston to Don was in a bright red DP. We stopped and looked at a branchline at Sheffield, I never saw if that got off the ground. One of the landowners objected to it. It was an AREA trip around 2012.
@@darylcheshire1618 Sheffield has a short narrow gauge railway as well as a 7 1/4 in miniature railway. Here is the miniature railway.. ua-cam.com/video/IRwl_eeO2ew/v-deo.html
You cannot beat Tasmania for beautiful scenery, especially along the coast. Would have liked a camera sweep of the drivers stand to see what the controls look like. Looked to me a "Driver Only" operation too? Decent set of horns for a little loco. Really enjoyed your video, very professional and many angles, thanks for the hard work you and your team put into the video.👍👍
You're welcome. Yes, tasrail is a 'driver only' operation. The scenery is beautiful down in Tasmania. Very happy you enjoyed the video 👍 😀
This is among your best efforts, totally engrossing!!
Well Done 😍
Thank you. I am very happy you enjoyed it 👍 😀
Just recently, a Tas Rail locomotive collected a Ute at a level crossing. Luckily for the Ute driver, he bailed out before impact,a rather rare occurrence on Tassies railways,l noticed the crossings here had no booms
Having boom gates still does not guarantee the road traffic is going to stop. I'm just happy everyone is ok. 👍👌
Vehicles hit trains!!!! Incompetent motorists
I am love the train now love Nakita
@@nakitawinton5339 very happy to hear you are enjoying them 😀 👍
What a great video this is. TAS rail will be pleased ????
When I moved to Ulverstone 12 years ago I would often race the train to Burnie on a sunny day. It is one of the best scenic railways I have seen. The best I have done is from Menton in sth France along the Cinque terre in Italy . I like the editing with various views. Probably too slow for ordinary people but perfect for railway lovers.
Geoff from Ulverstone
It is beautiful scenery along there. Perfect for tourist trains if ever this could be once again made possible. 👍😀
[ x ] Oh, my ... that is just superb!! Really like the tag-along out-takes!! Beautiful day, beautiful country-side, great ride!! How nice to see more of Tasmania! Thanks for sharing, Mr 667! As always, greetings from Tucson.
It is a beautiful part of Australia along the coast of Tasmania. Very happy you enjoyed it. Greetings to Tucson 👍😀
The TQAY class wagons are interesting. They look like they are permanently coupled in pairs with a straight bar between them, at the front of the first and at the rear of the second they have a conventional coupling to connect to the next set.
We will be going back to Tasmania when Don River Railway start excursions on the main line.

I am also looking forward to when Don River railway gains access to the main line again. 🤞👌👍😀
Great video.. I liked the different views from the cab and track side, (and the drone that was lucky to survive)? I have a question. Where does the coal train to Railton unload? Only the cement loading loop was visible? The scenery along the coast is outstanding.. A Tourist
Passenger service would be great, but I doubt if the West Coast Wilderness Railway want's any competition? However, this area would certainly be much easier for tourists to access?
Maybe the Coal Train unloading answer will come in a future video?
@@robinmathews2446 Tasmania certainly has great views and potential for tourist trains. I think there would be plenty of tourists for both main line and west coast trains. I believe the coal trains unload around the back of the plant but I don't have video of them unloading at Railton, but you never know what the future holds. Very happy you enjoyed the ride 👍 😀
Wonderful video
Thank you. Very happy you enjoyed the video 👍😀
Yeah great vid,heaps of different views 👍
Very happy you enjoyed it 👍😀
I love train now love Nakita
@@nakitawinton5339 😀😀👍
Notice TR10 still has the xmas lights on the railing near the cab door
It does. Getting in early for next Christmas? 🤣🤣👍
Be interesting to see why they can’t run a passenger Sprinter style service along the north coast serving cities and towns there and another one north- south from Hobart to Launceston.
I agree entirely drove that route last year, would be an exceptional and scenic rail experience, I Don’t know why no one in tourism cannot see its potential.🤔🤔🤔🤔
I think the problem is that the freight trains don't run to a time table and it's a single track.
passenger numbers would not warrent a regular service. thats why passenger services ceased all over tassie 50 years ago. Don river railway would like to start a tourist run from devonport to penguin again but it is getting the neccessary agreements in place that is holding it up plus run roungd loops would have to be installed again
A tourist service has big potential with the scenery Tasmania has. First though, insurance, work instructions, standards for rolling stock, modifications to the network to handle the passenger operations. There's a fair bit to do but I am hopeful it happens. 👍😀
Power line near miss with the drone
I was wondering whether that was good skills or good luck? I'm guessing the latter. 🤣
It was just good luck. 🤣🤣👍
👍

😁 I seen my house
Your house is now famous. 😄😄👍
Very rare to upload
👍😀
What’s better dirve or conductor
Ignore this Driver 667. I think this is spam or AI generated rubbish.
@@kentandmerran1032what makes you say that ffs
@@kentandmerran1032 no, I just want to know
@@robwilliamson5950 I’m no AI idiot
@@Robloxnoobyboy I like driving
Looks like no passenger trains,mores the pity!
Only freight these days on Tasrail. Plenty of potential for tourist trains though if they were ever allowed on the main line again. 👍😀
