Simply, some of the best, most historic rail film I've ever seen. Shot in the 1950s, this remarkable 16mm film was found in an abandoned garage following a housefire, in Sydney's West. Mostly Kodachrome colour, it shows scenes of 20 class, 30 class and even a 41 class diesel on the old Camden line, closed on the 1st January, 1963.

The city the Beatles visited long ago when they was fab. A working port with steam trains, no Opera House and no F3.
Wow, when looking at today's culture, it is nothing compared to what was shown in the film clip. Thanks for sharing. I loved it.
A great little video thanks for the memories I worked those goods trains from Gosford to broadmeadow and back many times the 59 class was a good loco we had a few at Enfield.
WOW , they ran up until that late .bazz
I know where the line went . it is a shame . NOW.
1:28 hello buddy any chance I can come up and look at the trains with my Boys?
O.K.
My father worked on the wharves in Sydney with Customs in the 60's, l worked on the wharves in the early 80's. Not much had changed. Except the shunting was now done with small diesel locomotives. It was the best of times. Sydney was a working harbour, from Garden Island, to Balls Head, Gore Hill, Glebe, Anandale, Pyrmont, Cockatoo Island, Balmain, Drummoyne, Lavender Bay, the list goes on. There was always something happening, it was never boring. 👍🇦🇺
Lol, Balls Head 🤭
Are you open to the public?
Hello we’re is this train located?
Thats a hellva lot of horsepower on those trains What a sight it must have been
Hi Graeme, I really appreciate you rescuing this footage and sharing it with us. It really brings the reality of the steam alive for those of us who were not fortunate enough to see it personally for ourselves. The scenes that really opened my eyes was the b & w footage of the 17 Class and the scene of the final run of 3402. How marvellous that someone was there to record it.
Went there recently great day out
Fantastic footage!
Thomas and friends
Hello Belbin Video I would like to request permission to use several of your NSWGR clips for a video
Let me know what, specifically , you'd like to use.

Love watching these history of steam so sad that the past railway history is fading away.😢
If only we could see, hear and feel such a sight in 2024. Being born in 1978 I have never felt the mountains shake or seen D57/58 in steam.
How fortunate we are that the film was made all those years ago and then later salvaged from an abandoned garage after a house fire.
Reminds me of the Titfield Thunderbolt film :-)
Plenty going there still.
Beautiful line to cowra, shame they can't reopen it. 1:52
That was brillant. Thank you.
That pond looks like a mozzie paradise, praps you don't have them Down Under?!😆
They can't use sand for climb this? Only i ask of my ignorance, i don't know if the steamer Baldwin uses a sandome. (Sorry grammar: im from Argentina)
Hi leonardo, we use a bit of sand occasionally, just thrown on, but with light loads we don't need it much. Thanks for your kind comments.
Just out of curiosity, Is there a track plan of this railway available somewhere?
Only rough plans at the moment. It's still evolving to a degree but most earthworks are done, basically to take it out around the balloon loop and back so the locos will face the opposite way each run. The section shown here is the zigzag up to the engineering works.
These people do great work. Thanks for showing us.
Great layout, and a high class video.
Many thanks.
Good to see an old engine steam again. Also, poor Perry, that had to hurt, and was probably pretty embarrassing.
great video
Fantastic, well timed.
.Good video, like.
Great little engines. I wasn’t surprised the rail broke, you could see the engine drop into a dip on the incline.
Yes, it had developed a dip although, in fairness, I suppose your surprise was reduced by the fact that you were told it was going to happen whereas we were not.
@@BelbinVideo It was visible on the previous runs. I did the safe working and network procedures through Southern Cross Rail Training 20 years ago, I’d love a to be involved with a historical railway again
@@greghayes9118, yes, you're right in that it was showing as a kink or dip. It wasn't, however, broken at that stage. If it had been there is no way it would have passed over it at all, as it did on the way down, with a section of the railhead missing completely. Being a relatively new track we attend to these things as required but the breaking, entirely, was not predictable.
One thing I noticed. that some of fireman on those engines had not trimmed their tenders just A BIT LAZY and OH&S was not a big thing and if a lump of coal fell off the tender and hit someone in the head it was just bad luck! you could always find coal along the side of the track in the bush I WAS ONLY 7 but I lived in North Gosford in the 60s so I i was Lucky to see lots of steam.
What a buzz to get Perry steamed up after 26 years! What condition was the boiler in I wonder and if much had to be done to finally get her into steam?🤔It’s a tribute to the guys dedication, blood, sweat and tears - and no doubt, a beer or three! I’m enjoying the Mandalong diaries! Thanks for posting👍🏻
You guys deserve your own tv-show: "Australias Train Rednecks" - absolutly love it!
Thankfully the rail failure didn't result in a worse incident. Total admiration for what these guys are doing. Is public access planned in the future?
Many thanks. Unfortunately, the legalities of public access make it impossible on our budget.
I only live around 20 kilometres away and never knew the line existed, the closest railway to meet I thought was Richmond Vale, i would love to volunteer, hlw do i contact them.
I have a 5” gauge model of this loco it’s awsome to see where the full size got too. Is this the one that for a time was at Lake Macquarie light rail after some restoration work at thirlmere?
It is indeed, although it never ran there.
Is Perry the same loco that ran on the Buladelah Logging Railway in the 90's?
It is.
Que profunt sona aquesta maravella. Es una gesta no tindre recursos i possar en funcionament una màquina de vapor. Esperm rebin ajut i no es perdi aquest tresor, Les generación venideres ho valorarien sobremanera Gràcies a ells per la voluntat 😍
Thankyou for your comments. Luckily there are some very knowledgeable steam men here.
beautiful footage of two steam engines working hard going up a hill. I was very surprised to see Perry jump the track at the end of the episode
Thankyou. We were more than a little surprised ourselves.
You are going to need that round house soon,to stable all these locos
Sounds like a plan. Must buy more Lotto tickets.
Nice 👌🏻
Hairy unloading but it ended well
These things certainly have their moments, that's for sure.
At least no damage was done to the locomotive.
Indeed, or the crew.
Great video, thanks for sharing.
To think that the last batch of R1 trams entered service just 8 years prior to closure. It was a criminal act to destroy Sydney's fabulous tramway.
They are fast locos
