ARHS Ebenezer trip - 1089 - Brunswick St to The Ekka.




Title:
ARHS Ebenezer trip - 1089 - Brunswick St to The Ekka.

Description:
After just coming out of the tunnel which makes up Brunswick Street railway station, 1089 heads towards Bowen Hills. This is the crew change point for the majority of QR CityTrain services. We then travel via "The-Hole-In-The-Wall" under the Brisbane Inner City Bypass, which turns the train nearly 180 degrees, facing south now as we run next to Mayne depot. This is the yard where QR CityTrains are stabled and serviced when not in use. The end of the video sees the train passing the Brisbane Exhibition Grounds, better known to locals as "The EKKA".
