Great footage, some interesting locations and angles there - very much not a typical "following a train with a video camera" video  . You got a good lash up to boot!

Nice work Maikha. I wondered what you were up to when I arrived there to met the locos.
The locos were at JRW for a couple of hours as we had to effect temporary repairs to 2201 after a forklift got intimate with it the previous night at Nowra! The GM and the KL were also inspected and the three locos were passed fit for running. Normally it would be about an hour turnaround if we were only fuelling three locos.
I chuckled to see my 'handiwork' on the northern end on 2201! Got it to Narrandera and home for more comprehensive repairs.

Great footage Maikha, it's always good to see video shot at not so conventional angles. I really enjoyed the scene at the level crossing where you had the cars behind the train framed.

Great angles and vision, as always.
Good to see Drivers moving about in Run 1 rather than rush & bust like the young guns do.
Bad to see those stupid kids at Junee scoot across the still protected level crossing. Too bad if something shunted from behind the Wheatie. (end rant)
Keep 'em coming mate, I admire your vision and dedication.

Thank you gentlemen for your feedback. It's good to know others appreciate your work, and for that, it shall continue.
I thought I'd be smart and get ahead of the train and wait for it at the next staff section at Old Junee, unbeknown to me for about 30mins was that it had lost its path, so I though bugger that and went back to Junee for a feed, otherwise I would have followed it to Coolamon.
This weekend maybe?
