Very relaxing film, due to perhaps among other reasons, low speeds and no other traffic. Vegetation is very different, but scenery - wide valleys, big open spaces and few buildings - somehow reminds me of central Bulgaria. Thanks.
Love the video. Couple of observations. I was surprised the Conara - Fingal section was in such good condition , compared to when I last saw it. Last time the south leg of the triangle was still connected. Also surprised Conara Junction yard was totally deserted.
Enjoyed this video like how this train began in a scrubland terrain until around 1:25 hour mark then began a climb into a somewhat forested area. Have a question though way was the train limited to mostly idling along because it seemed the track conditions were conducive to running trains at higher speeds? Once again, I'm glad made this video for us to enjoy.
Amazing! The only thing that coulda been better would if you went all the way through to Launceston/East Tamar Junction! Woulda loved to see my home town's rail! Anyways, great videoQ
@@driver667 minor correction - trains go to duncan siding just beyong fingal the line to st marys closed in the 1980s but is still obviously traceable on google maps etc
Perfect for relaxation, especially on the weekend. 🚂
@@georgeheilman4243 there's nothing like relaxing with a video like this playing. Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😀
What a fine Tasmanian day! Always a pleasure; thank you. Also appreciate you being so careful with the deer that was running on the tracks.
@@katefromaust5627 it was a nice day. It was nice to see that deer run off into the paddock. Glad you enjoyed the video 👍 😀
Much enjoyed! Cheers from Wagga.
@@jamescrawford9883 very happy to hear you enjoyed it. Cheers to Wagga. 👍😀
The sound of the blower EMD16-645E engine and it powers up and down.

@@richardlong3745 there were speed restrictions on the day due to weather conditions along part of the trip. Very happy you enjoyed the ride 👍 😀
Well it's not the same as a trip through the Alps or Carpathian mountains! But it was scenic enough! 😂👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Thanks for posting.
@@downunderrob you're welcome. There is some nice scenery down in Tasmania. Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😀

@@tasmaniantaswegian very happy to hear you enjoyed the ride along the line. 👍😀
Great video! Do you have any other dashcam footage of Tasmanian Railways (other than the Melba Line video)?
@@HandleNo.64 there is more on it's way. 😀 Very happy you are enjoying them. 👍😀
Like a slow trip to China!
Was that trip done over several days? In the last half from Conara to Western Jct the train had no snout!
@@davidholder3207 😂😂 all in the one day. Just a slightly different camera positioning from Conara. 👍😀
1:19:32 Are those deer in Australia?
@@solliz666 yes, we have deer in Australia even though they are not native to Australia. 👍😀
👍
@@mihailoarsic5716 👍😀
I'm a driver in Queensland. Wondering if it's worth trying for a job in Tassie. I want to retire down there in 10 years anyway.
Most definitely. They are a bit short at the moment. There are a few ex Queenslanders down there driving trains. A great group of people. 👍😀
I don't think I've ever seen the train go to or from St. Marys.
Do trains still use that section?
@@martythemartian99 no, Fingal is as far as the line is used these days. 👍😀
@@driver667 minor correction - trains go to duncan siding just beyong fingal

@@tasmaniantaswegian 👍😀
Coal for export or for a coal-fired powerplant in Tasmania?
@@johnbeaulieu2404 it is railed to Railton and used at the cement works to aid the production of cement. Glad you enjoyed the video 👍 😀
