They certainly were tough times back then. Don't often see the rain out there. 😊👍

👍😊

The speed around Southern Cross station area is 25kph. 👍😊

@@CooperSchache34 we will all miss them unfortunately. 😔🤔👍

@@martythemartian99 OMG 🙄🙄 👍😀

@@driver667 Okay, maybe you're right. Maybe I was loopy to begin with. 🤪🤤😜😵‍💫😵

🤣🤣🤣👍

@@grahamfrench9874 I would hazard a guess and think not. 🤔 Glad to hear you enjoyed the video 👍 😀

@@georgeheilman4243 🤣🤣 I was wondering how many would have fun with these names. 😀😀👍

In a hall of residence at uni (in Melbourne) I made friends with a fellow student who happened to be from Underbool, so I learnt from him the pronunciation of some of the stops along the Pinnaroo line. He in turn was surprised that I could describe to him which railway line Underbool was on, and informed me that a certain girl in our hall happened to be from Torrita!

It's a small world, that's for sure. 👍😊

@@grahamb5509 interesting. I didn't know that. 👍😀

@@driver667 His bio show him as born in Murrayville but grew up on the family farm at Cowangie. Apparently numerous Perkins Racing engines got a good try out on the road along side the track

😂😂👍

@@macka8884 glad to hear you enjoyed it 😀 The Warrnambool should be up over the next month or two depending how I go with all the other things I have to do. Should be good. 👍😀

@driver667 awesome mate! Will look forward to it just like every other upload! 😉👍

Good stuff. 👍😀

@@peejay1981 it does take a while. 👍😀

@@yargn3594 thank you. Very happy you enjoyed the ride 👍 😀

Top speed of the track is 40kph. Yes, I also hope it gets more traffic. 🤞 Glad you enjoyed the ride 👍😀

White - km's from Melbourne. Yellow - speed around and direction of the curve. 👍😀

No. We look at what cars we have and manually add up the tonnage. 👍😀

@driver667 Manually?? Surely not ??

No locomotives tell the driver how much the train weighs. Freight or passenger, the tonnage is worked out beforehand. 👍😀

Thank you. Very happy to hear you enjoyed the ride 👍😀

There are no passenger trains on the state railway system in Tasmania. The passenger trains finished around 1978 in Tasmania. I am very happy to hear that you enjoyed the video 👍😀

@@driver667 благодарю. Вам всего доброго 🙂

Thank you. You also. 👍😊

@@maxantunezlikestrains Metro replaced them all with horns that don't sound as good. 🤔🤔👍

@@neilforbes416 😀😀👍

@@danielwong9626 yes, xtrap as well. 👍😀

@driver667 how long has this been running the 3. I thought that it was just like the Upfield line where it was only Siemens & Comeng

Quite a while the xtrap trains have been on the line. Not sure when they started. 👍😀

Believe it was around 2015

@@georgeheilman4243 I guess we shall have to wait and see what they come up with. 🤔👍😀

@@RichardFelstead1949 it is very different to when I was driving sparks through there. 🤔 Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😀

@@martythemartian99 to go loopy, I guess you would have to be not loopy first?? 🤔🤔 👍🤣

@@yargn3594 very happy you enjoyed the ride 👍 😀

@@vlinenclasstrains going well thanks Charlie. How are you? 👍😀

@@driver667 I’m going good thanks Colin

@@MarcelosalivaTRENESArg thank you. Greetings to you also. Very happy you enjoyed it 👍 😀

@@geoffb108 they also have a line to bell bay as well as the less used lines to Fingal and down the west coast. A lot of people don't realise Tasmania has trains. 🤔👍😀

The Wilderness Railway is perhaps the prettiest train trip on the planet. Tassie has trains.

It certainly is a very beautiful railway. 👍😊

Yes I know I live in Ulverstone. My wife tells me her father worked on the EBR he became a paraplegic after a rail accident. When she was 4 or 5 the train drivers would stop at their railway house and take her on the train into mt Lyle to help mother with the childrens care. She has many fond memories of these kind caring railway men looking after her. They shared their huge sandwiches and made a bed in the guards van . It was a long trip and they would carry her back to the house . This couldn't happen now. The railway men were a tight group and cared for each other. She often remembers those kind gentle lovely men. Riding in the steam engine through the forest and over the trestle bridges is something she will always remember.

@@geoffb108 sound like great memories of great people. 👍😀

@@luke.w.cameron I drive for vline but my camera goes for rides on other trains when I organise it with the appropriate people. 👍😀

@@grahamb5509 😀😀 it is a beautiful view along this line. 👍😀

@@neilforbes416 😀😀👍

This is what you expect to see in North West of Victoria

@@Mediawatcher2023 👍😀

@neilforbes416 Welcome to the town called nothing to see here.

@neilforbes416 what did you expect to see its rural victoria this is country life in comparison to city life

@@HoolyDooly-si2zz I have a feeling you would've won. 🤣🤣👍

But not in summer.😅

Jeff Kennett has said he wants to restore frequent mainline passenger services from Murrayville to Melbourne. Part of the plan is to restore the refreshment rooms at Ouyen so that passengers can get off the train while locomotives are rotated on the turntable. Passengers could then transfer to the broad-gauge up service at Maryborough.

​​@@mjmcb1And locomotive take water and coal. Arrrrh Victorian Railway refreshments rooms..best coffee, railway made meat pies, toasted raisin bread made by their own bakery, eggs from their own chook farm and fresh creamy milk from their own farm, and a cold beer or two.....and the friendly service.....Wait a minute!!??I must be dreaming 1968.....not 2025,

All the other lines around it are already SG. If left as BG there would be no connections to the orger lines. Also it could be used if main line to Adelaide was out of action.

@@afs5609 it was converted to allow access for grain transport from Murrayville. 👍😀

If only they finished the job linked Sealake ( great cooperative owned pub recommend anyone to stay) and Quambbtook lines and Maryborough Ballarat-Geelong standard gauge. Then rail maintenance facility for STD rollingstock at Maryborough out towards Moolort. Give the local community careers, jobs and hope .

Almost. Yelta, out past Mildura is the extremity of the network. 👍😀

Benny Hill may be gone, but his memory lingers on.😄

@@georgeheilman4243 so many possibilities 🤔🤔👍

@@palanggatron1144 and the walkers didn't have the best suspension 🤔👍🤣

@@yargn3594 thank you. Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😀

Thank you. Greetings to Chile. Glad you enjoyed the ride 👍 😀

It was lucky, and I'm glad I recorded it back then. Happy to hear you enjoyed it 👍 😀

@driver667 something I would love to see would be like an old run of the Pakenham line. Even pre-Skyrail would be cool

@@CptnWolfe I have a run during the building of skyrail running in between the concrete pillars being constructed. It's not as good quality but I'll post it one day. 👍😀

@driver667 Carnegie or Noble Park?

@@CptnWolfe Carnegie. 👍😀

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the ride. 👍😀

@@luke.w.cameron it does scare people when they're not ready for it. 👍😀

@@neilforbes416 😀👍

Actually if you see it in person, they are really good. The cameras don't really work great in the dark. 👍😀

@@demmyonline the line past Kyneton was singled around 2006. Before that it was double line as you said. Between sunbury and Bendigo the lines are bidirectional. 👍😀
