Cab View - Muswellbrook to Camberwell 2020

Up trip from the outskirts of Muswellbrook to Camberwell (just west of Singleton) in the Upper Hunter. Early morning just after sunrise. Sped up approximately 5 times normal speed.
All in cab protocols were adhered to while video was recording.

That looked wrong to me. Dual track! I've driven up through the Hunter on my way to Nundle for camping trips at Easter, And I've seen the rail line up that way as Single Track with occasional passing loops. Travelling up that way I passed through Singleton, Muswellbrook and on up to Murrurrundi and the rail line comes into view on occasions, always single track with occasional passing loops. The single track begins near Singleton, so I believe.

The single line begins at Muswellbrook, where the Ulan Line branches off from the Main North Line. Port Waratah to Maitland is 4 lines (2 coal lines, 2 main lines), then the North Coast line begins from Maitland which is single line, while the Main North continues as double track, and in parts triple track, until Muswellbrook.

@@djt6012 I know about the North Coast line, it drops to single track at Telarah but I always thought the track up to the north-west dropped to single line after Singleton(would've been appropriate, Single Line, Singleton! LOL😁)

When I was signed off for the road, the single line started at Antiene. 50Kmh turnout on the up from memory.

@@djt6012 The single line begins just before the train enters Telarah Station, heading north.

It was double track to Antiene (north of Liddell PS), single track to Grass Tree, double track to St Heliers, and finally single track to Muswellbrook and beyond. Now it’s double track all the way to Muswellbrook
