Steam Buffs Ahoy! A Zig Zag Railway Journey from Clarence to Bottom Points in (almost) Real Time!

Warning! This video contains long, unedited scenes of steam locomotive valve gear. There's also lots of hissing & clanking too so if you're squeamish, move on but if you like steam trains and want to ride one soon, read on! Shot over several months with multiple cameras and sound recorders, this narrated video features explanatory text boxes to explain the complex process of operating a passenger train down a mountain on a steep grade. In this video, we travel from Clarence Station beside Chifley Road in the Blue Mountains near Lithgow through two tunnels and over three gorgeous sandstone viaducts to arrive far below at Bottom Points Station, right beside the current main western railway line linking Sydney with the Central West. Steam enthusiasts will love the synchronized stereo soundtrack so crank up the volume and enjoy the trip!

Highlights of my Taiwan tour is a visit to the spectacular Alishan Forest Railway which climbs from sea level to 2.200m in just 75 kilometers and on special occasions, still operates a Shay geared locomotive!
