CHARBON RAILWAY TOUR
ET Tours - 2nd November 1991
Three part video covering the late Bruce Cook's final tour.
Despite it not turning our to be the expected interstate motive power, it was a fantastic day that will never likely be forgotten.
The three part series include run pasts of the train, railfans on board (some of whom are no longer with us) and finishes with an evening cab ride from Lithgow, through the ten tunnels, and on to Katoomba.
Bruce ran tours with a difference, doing things that would horrify the self appointed railfan police of today.
Thank you Bruce.
