Clip description

A point-of-view shot from the front of a train as it travels along a section of new track and makes its way into Port Augusta. It passes through a depot and Tassie Street station, a new station being erected at Port Augusta. The train passes under two bridges before pulling up at a platform where passengers change from the trans-continental railway to the South Australian railway. This station, too, appears to be under construction.
