As posted by nadnerb 2000 over on RP this Youtube channel kicks bottom!
Doctor Nick's Youtube channel
I wonder where he got all these from? (John Boy Walter?)
Fantastic. Was watching the one about the 1983 strike. That went for a couple of weeks as I recall. Main North went rusty!
A lot of incidents/accidents I'd forgotten.
Now to sit back and watch!

Yeah watched a couple yesterday via Railpage. Had to laugh at the media inefficiency again with the Moree accident. The ABC news portion had Angela Pearman (  mmm redhead  ) read the story as first a XPT and then a XPT XPLORER.

A lot of velour in that 1983 story... 
The 1992 story about the Pennant Hills derailment was interesting. A big one but I don't remember it at all. Probably because I wasn't living in Sydney then. Some serious damage to the 'staunchions' and they had to put the 'carriages' back on the rails (it's a frigging freight/goods train).
Also there's plenty of footage about Cowan 1990. I was not in Australia at the time so I know very little about it.
Some serious hairstyles on people!
