Bert Scales Rail Archive – transferred from movie film to HD. Unearthed after almost 50 years in storage, shared publicly on one occasion to a group of enthusiasts in 1994, I share with you Bert Scales visit to Bethungra Spiral in January of 1974. This has been one of the most enjoyable films I have had the pleasure of pulling together. The film follows Berts original 'cut and splice' to reel edit, including home made segments introductions made from magnetic alphabet letter being placed on the kitchen fridge door. The film is best viewed on a large screen with volume set to high. Take in the sight and sound of early period locomotives rolling stock as they traverse the NSW state government heritage registered Bethungra Spiral, smothered by a picturesque, hot, dry southern land at the peak of the Australian summer. The film captures a variety of period daily passenger services; Riverina Express, Inter-capital Daylight Express, school holiday 'extra' loco hauled non air condition trains, and the relatively new self propelled Tulloch 1200 class rail motors and 900 class Deb Sets. A Scout special charter service bound for the 1974 Australian Jamboree appears midway through the film. The original single-track line opened in 1878, hosting a gradient of 1 in 40, imposing limitations of train loading and length over the section of track, requiring bank engines for support. In the late 1940s, an 8.9km spiral deviation was built, making use of local geography in the shape of a convenient hill around which the uphill ("up", or Sydney-bound) track spirals to gain the necessary height over a longer distance, thus giving a lesser gradient. The spiral itself increased the distance travelled by uphill (northbound) trains by about two kilometres with a ruling gradient of 1 in 66, at the same time delivering efficiency gains in the operation of larger trains and the removal of bank engines and support crew for each up train. Downhill (southbound) trains continue to use the original line. Bethungra Spiral is one of two spirals in the state of New South Wales, with the other being titled ‘Border Loop’ on the New South Wales and Queensland boarder. Bert purchased his first movie film camera in 1973 and travelled great lengths of the state to capture the end of steam, and unique working railway destinations such as shared in this film; Bethungra Spiral. Bert has captured and contributed to the ongoing story of rail’s rich cultural, engineering and operational history, along with the ever-changing natural landscape of this beautiful country we call Australia.
