Generally regarded as Australia's finest railway film and winner of many awards the world over, A Steam Train Passes is a nostalgic, imaginative essay on one of the majestic but now retired C38 class steam locomotives. This fine locomotive has been restored at the Newcastle State Dockyard. The documentary was filmed on one of its final journeys from Sydney to a series of country railway stations. Made by Film Australia 1974. Directed by David Haythornthwaite.
" A Steam Train Passes has been posted on You Tube by other individuals from VHS or other poor quality copies without permission. Our version has had some restoration work done and a higher quality transfer to compressed digital formats in order to try and convey the true 35mm film quality of this great film."
