Eveleigh Depot to Sydney terminal

[faulcon1]

Here's a short video of a journey from the depot along a line which runs under all mainlines out of Sydney. The tunnel section is known as the "Eveleigh Dive". The video is unsteady because the footage is taken with a mobile phone with no stabilisation. 8049 is a 2,000hp Alco of the 1980's. At 3.12 to the left can be seen the old Mortuary Station where funeral trains would depart for an identical station in Rookwood Cemetery in the suburbs. For years the Mortuary station was used for departing steam excursion trains. At 4.11 can be seen the track bed of the old Darling Harbour goods line. Always a grotty part of Sydney in times past it's now an entertainment, shopping precinct.
