Puffing Billy - Forward View - The Complete Route - Gembrook to Belgrave (Australia)

Video Description

The surprising success of the recently posted Driver’s Eye View video using video footage taken from the front of the engine prompted me to consider posting the footage taken by a camera fixed just above rail level. For those who have already seen the 4 Part series of videos covering Puffing Billy, you may recognize some of the shots used in those videos, repeated in this one. This video covers the whole line from Gembrook to Belgrave, although just before Monbulk Creek Trestle the view switches to a camera mounted on the locomotive hand rail due to the batteries in the track level camera running out of power. The view is unusual, giving a totally different prospective of the route as we leave the pleasant suburbs of Gembrook, passing into open countryside before plunging into the eucalyptus trees of the Wright Forest, our train crosses wooden trestles bridges and passing pretty wayside stations along the way.
