Last Steam Excursion on the Brisbane Valley Branch - Revised

C17 974 hauls what I recollect as being the last ever steam excursion on the Brisbane Valley Branch. There was at least one more excursion, but it was diesel hauled, and I think there was a railmotor too, but this was steam's last fling over one of the most idyllic country branch lines in Queensland. The video was originally shot on a hand held Video8 camera, so the vid has been passed through Deshaker to remove most of the wobbles, but it doesn't like panning shots that much or when the train fills up most of the shot, so please excuse the few artefacts that at least make the rest of the video worth watching.

Very attractive locomotive (and coaches).

The line may be gone, but the memories will always remain
