In case you missed it. Bethungra Loop is heritage listed and is part of the main south line between Sydney and Melbourne.
Bethungra is the town where work commenced on the line in the1880s. It once had a population of 3000 and 9 hotels. Now its just 80.
To the South is Junee where NSWGR had their headquarters and this building now houses Australian Rail and Track Corporation (ARTC).
Junee also has a roundhouse (moved and restored) and used to be the location of the locomotive workshops.
To the North is Cootamundra which, in its day, used to be a major branch line hub to Tumut in the Snowy Mountains and Lake Cargellico in central NSW.
Now its a bus station for these places.
The Inland Rail Project will see a new freight corridor starting from south of Bethungra and heading north to Toowoomba in SE QLD.
Toowoomba is 2 hours drive west of Brisbane and is Brisbane's second airport.

Youtube video of the train.
I have no idea why people think soppy piana music is appropriate for videos or commercials. Must be a social distancing thing.
