Railfanning The South Line

Join Rail Media Productions for 3 busy days of filming on Tasmania's South Line between Andover and Brighton. We begin with train 33 heading through Colebrook in the early morning light, and follow it to Danby before heading back to where we began the programme to begin filming the paper train which was consisted of coal and paper making for an extremely heavy load. We follow this large train as far as the Derwent Valley, where will leave the train and return north into the hills to follow train 35 to Back Tea Tree Road.

The second day of filming begins with the spectacular site of triple headed TR class at the head of another late running intermodal freight heading south. We follow the action to a variety of locations as far as Colebrook where will leave the train and return up the hill as far as Rhyndaston, and chase double headed DQ's on a ballast train heading south. We end the second days filming with a cross between DQ's and TR's at Tea Tree, and the site of another combined coal and paper train heading north.

The third and final day of filming begins between Bridgewater Junction and Dromedary on the Derwent Valley, as we watch an empty coal train returning to the Brighton Transport Hub. We then relocate to the South line and follow the 2 DQ's north again as far as Rhyndaston where this programme will terminate.

A huge variety of locations, and footage taken from 2 camera crews makes this programme a must have for the diesel locomotive enthusiast!
