History repeats. A similar bush-bashing exercise occurred on this line when it was being reopened in 1966.
Sounds as if it might have been lucky the loco didn't end up in the dirt. Was anything done prior to the excursion to ensure that wouldn't happen? A missing level crossing sign clearly wasn't replaced.
@fernald10 I think the line was checked to make sure that it was safe to run out to the wagons. at every level crossing there was a bloke from PN making sure that no drivers would go through the level crossing. The one without a sign is an abandoned farm crossing and was heavily over grown
Mate shes flyin! Bloody nice shots! Im glad someone actually managed to get this movement!

Nice video! Would've been an easy train to chase!
