- ''Dave's first Warwick SDSR Adventure''. (Sad to see QLD Gov. closed the Stanthorpe to Wallangarra part of the line. LETS RALLY TOGETHER and get it reopened.) Hold onto your seats as we travel through the hills, past old viaducts,through tunnels and over old bridges and past old Granite Belt railway infrastructure as we travel in 70yr old Carriages behind SDSR Steam Loco.C17 971 from Warwick to Wallangarra and return. It is magic going through the tunnels on the return trip, A must watch. David M Kemp. @DavidMKempMusicandTrains {Feel free to subscribe, comment and press the like Thumb.}
Great video thank you. Very natural cinematography. And a nice narrative at Wallangarra. 18:49 the line to the right went off to the large Army depot used during WWII.
Thank you for the compliment on my video and the line information on the Army depot.
i was born shortly after the end of the steam era.i was born in mildura in the N/W of vic and grew up during the steam era and subsequently the end of the steam era when the deisals were introduced.i'm now 66yrs old and went to primary school and got used to seeing the old steamer parked in the railway siding next to the BP station for approx 6-8 yrs in the late '60's-'70's.mildura had the one-stop shop for maintaining the steamer for the weekly night passenger run to spencer street station in melbourne,vic.
David, thank you for your very interesting story and also your interest in this video of the trip to Wallangarra . I just love Steam Train era nostalgia. Regards Dave .
@@DavidMKempMusicandTrains thanks dave for replying to my post>
may be it's also a bit sad they should bring on the diesels!
Man the railway precinct has come along way in a decade! Thanks for posting
It's a pleasure to take you on a journey back in time.
For me personally, I am fascinated by carriages and their interiors. Sadly this video focuses on poking the camera outside the train window for 99% of the journey.
i remember the train that was used for the nightly passenger ops to and from spencer street was used for the so called "Back-to-ops".
The good news there are still plenty of people willing to keep all railways open to the public.
Thank you for your very positive comment because that is really good news.
@@DavidMKempMusicandTrains You're welcome, we can create new ways to make train travel more accessible, affordable, and smoother for everyone.
what a shame that it is being discontined tho.
It is a shame David, because I was looking forward to travelling the Warwick to Wallangarra line again this year aboard the Warwick steam train, but unfortunately the fires put a stop to that. Dave
@@DavidMKempMusicandTrains yes and as iwas getting our suburban train to the city,i spoke to a rail support worker and said that that very thing that a bridge had been bunt down but as i was getting out of the taxi,i heard the all to familiar sound of a train whistle and he said that they were testing it and also said that we had the steamer about 3 yrs agoso there we are and thanks for replying to my post.
Why is this line being closed? It looks well looked after. I do hope everything works out.
The QLD Govt. said it would cost $20 million to repair damage done to infrastructure caused by the bad fires at Wallangarra and along the Railway line in November 2023.
Such a shame, that was on my Bucket List, along with Mary Valley
@@DavidMKempMusicandTrainsHonestly that is a load of crap that they couldn't do those repairs
@@DavidMKempMusicandTrains they said the same thing in 1964 and closed many QR lines. all we need is a proper government to get the lie fixed.
Hopefully we will have a new state government in by the end of the year.
A bit of $$$ might get it reopened.
Magik.
Thank you for your magic comment. Dave
