Semi Retired Foamer 
Videos

A selection of videos taken in 1989, showcasing the situation at Yass Town, Yass Junction, Bowning, Galong and Boorowa.

Yass Town
Join us as we follow the line from the town, to the junction.
A look at the stations, sidings and other infrastructure, not long after the line saw it's final train.
The video finishes with a selection of current-day photos of the line.




Bowning To Boorowa via Galong
A look at these three locations back in 1989.
Signaling and services that will never be seen again.

TUTUBAN YARD - APRIL 2018


With some massive changes planned for the railways of the Philippines, I set about covering a lot of the current scene around Manila.
 Thank you to the 'Philippine National Railways' for their help in granting permission to get a historical record for the future.
  A lot more to come as we visit more yards and depots, long closed historic stations and a few old signalboxes.


Stay tuned

Another riveting selection of slides from back in the days before hatred and ego controlled the railfan hobby. They were great days, no internet, just lineside mateship.
You can excuse anyone for being bitter. Years of trying to make a better hobby, trying to further railway preservation in NSW, just to be attacked endlessly from people professing to run the railway heritage industry, or who run mediocre Facebook groups while carrying a huge chip of HAYte on their shoulders.
  At least I have close friends, and a massive pile of memories left to enjoy. All of which I am happy to share with like-minded people who still care about the railfan hobby.

Beautiful Exeter station remains very much the same in 2018.



East Greta Junction on the South Maitland Railway.




Eugowra (terminus of line from Cowra)



Goulburn before the museum moved in.



Galong before a container train went through is.
Stay tuned for video footage from this station.






More old 80s/90s images (and videos) shortly.
