Part 2 of a collection of scenes showing RTL 1 (Road Transferable Locomotive No. 1) in use on the previously disused Sale - Hillside (near Bairnsdale) line in Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. This Western Star truck was built for use as a locomotive and was the only one light enough to traverse the Avon River Bridge at Stratford at the time log trains started using the line. Today passenger trains also run on this line, but it had been out of use for several years, due to the condition of the Avon River bridge.
Sorry, due to a technical problem, sound is in the left channel only.
