Fond memories of those little rail motors when I was a boy in rural Victoria, they were like a mobile oven in summer! Great scenery along the way, nothing like a train ride at a leisurely pace and not going like a bat out of hell!
It was mooted that the line between Lilydale and Healseville would be reinstated, back in the '80s. Local war cry was "Where's our train, Cain?" John Cain Jr was Premier at the time. Never happened.
Fantastic video...I noticed recently a turntable atop a flat top goods carriage at Yarra Glen. To be installed to enable a steam locomotive to be turned for trips to Healesville hopefully? I'd love to hear of a J class or k permanently deployed there for tourism in the area
@@in.2oblivion580 I'm not sure what their plans are for steam or the turntable but it would be nice to see in the future sometime. Very happy you enjoyed the video 👍😀

They were pretty hot in summer. 🥵 Glad you enjoyed the ride 👍 😀
[ x ] Oh, that's a really nice ride!! Hope that tunnel gets back in service soon! Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Tucson.
@@AZqyc Greetings to Tucson. It is very nice out there. I look forward to seeing the train through the tunnel. Glad you enjoyed it. 👍😀
Very picturesque.
@@Mediawatcher2023 it is nice scenery through there. Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😄
@@driver667 yes very nice 😀

You're welcome. Very happy you enjoyed the ride 👍 😀

Then there was talk of Coldstream.... 🤔 hmmmm. 👍😀
@@driver667 Not far from there to Yering......
13:12 I'm sure the sign on the left came as no surprise to the people on the train. 😁
I would guess they knew. 🤣🤣👍
wow. How fast is that thing going?
🤣🤣 Not fast 🤣👍
It's taken donkeys 🫏 years to get the line to Yarra Glen..
It's a complete rebuild being undertaken without the resources of the government and relying on volunteers. Looking forward to completion. 👍😀
@@driver667 understood. The trestle bridge over the Yarra was completely burnt during the 08 bushfires I'd doubt that would ever be rebuilt.
@@jimpikoulis6726 I think you are right about that. Pity. 👍😀

How long until this line is fully up and working? It's been so many years and they're still not past the tunnel really.
There is a lot of work being done. It's a complete rebuild of track and bridges. All being done with volunteers. Should be good when it is done. 👍😀
@@driver667 I wanted to help, but never got around to it and live too far away for it now really.
@@acesretroonline not everyone is in a position to help and life does get in the way sometimes. They are soldiering on. They will get there. 👍😀
👍
😀😀👍
Can this rail car go any faster? My mouse has fallen asleep :)
It sure can but we wouldn't want to wake your mouse up. 🤣🤣👍😀
Why is it travelling so Bloody slow 😢
@@brianmcgill7314 it's a tourist service. No one wants to get to the destination in a hurry. 😀👍
