Nice video.

One of the great things is his really deep knowledge and resources he could pull together to create an interesting video, like, 'the place had a rail bridge, like this other one thats still in use, here's a picture' etc

Why is everything a video? Wish I could look at pictures of it without going to YouTube

As far as I can tell, the 1949 map hasn't been publicly digitised, but here's one from 1947: https://www.victorianrailways.net/vr%20map/vrmap47.html

There's also a fan made map showing everything that's existed throughout history and some maps from other years here: https://www.victorianrailways.net/vr%20map/map.html

Most things in YouTube videos are around, and easily found with a quick google search :)
