Thanks alot this what's missing from Australia the way it used to be simple and ever so rewarding life experiences , as a rail buff trains have a way to talk to you they put a great smile on your dial .THANKS FOR THE VIDEO.
Hi Adam, another great video, Wycheproof and Rockhampton are the only towns in Australia that have main street running it's great to see. Stay safe and cheers Lee.
That's fantastic, I've always wanted to see the train in the main street of Wichie, I passed through there some time ago going from Horsham to Kerang inspecting Graincorp silos. Very hot day, Donald looked fine but a lot of those small towns are on their knees looks like too many people have left...Thanks for your time putting these vids on the tube!
When we were spring chickens, used to love getting up at sun-up and wait for the grain trains to come down the street and lay on the grass up close as the trains slowly passed by.
This makes me home sick (I live in Germany atm) I spent my entire childhood in central and western Victoria. Lived a year in Tresco of all places ! Dad worked for Mawson Quarries in the mid 60’s. Drove with him all over the place.
hi i grew up in swan hill late 50s to early 71 i went to swanhill tech, it was close tresco i guess, i loved going to lake boga i think thats how you spell it lol i live in melbourne now
There is a lot of historic train action in Germany and some amazingly beautiful trips you can do there. Not so homesick German living in country NSW (only rusty tracks through my little country town) here.
@@moestrei Yes I have been to The Brocken in the Harz mountains. Went on a Soviet era steam train to the summit. And have also been up to Drachenfels on the cog railway. Plus some other interesting things like the 28 tram in Lisbon! We had planned and bought tickets to go to the summit station at Jungfrau , but COVID cancelled that journey. But till have a trip from Stockholm to Copenhagen booked which we will take in November.. Tschüss
Wow. I've driven through Wycheproof a couple of times and never noticed the train line. How cool. One day, in the dim dark future, when COVID is just a distant memory, I'll come up and have a look. :-)
I imagine a staff exchanger platform about the Wychie bakery (like there used to be about Brooklyn near the Somerton Rd level crossing), where one of the bakery staff come out stand on the platform with a hoop with pies, cakes attached and while rolling past the other hoop with the money and is skillfully exchanged simultaneously as used to occur in Brooklyn before CTC.
Thank you so much again a memory for me having driven down that track many a time, remember one morning having my second person suffering from very bad hay-fever l pulled the train up and let him go to the chemist..on another occasion a Saturday morning stop at the bakery..didn't cause to many issues or block too much..Train crew have needs too ..once again thank you.
Decent of you to not be riding the horn all the way down the main street in the early morning hours, Victoria sure has some pretty little country towns, once we are all allowed out to play again must get back over there.
I moved to Wyche about 18 months ago (my wife grew up here). Just a beautiful town and you won’t find more genuine and friendly people anywhere else. Strongly encourage people to visit 🌈
@@anthonycrem7836 You see more of them during harvest but they do go through all year round - it would be rare to go a couple of days without one coming through. A couple of times a year a steam train travels from Bendigo to Sea Lake with customers on it and stops in the middle of the town for a little bit for people to look at and photograph.
I have ridden both ways up the Main Street of Wycheproof in a blue DERM railcar in the early 1970s. Going to Sea Lake was at nighttime. My accommodation for the night was an old lantern shed on the platform at Sea Lake. The train arrived late at night and left early the next morning so I had the opportunity to experience the morning run up the main highway through Wychie. If you there by car then make sure you detour to go up to the lookout. Mt. Wycheproof is claimed to be the smallest official mountain in Australia. Going north west in Victoria you are normally following a rail line and looking at the next silo in the far distance.
Thanks for this. Haven't been to Wycheproof in 46 years. Nice little village and rode the train through there a couple of times. Just for the fun of it.
How relaxing is watching this. I love trains, Thk you for your awesome share. Moreover, I got to see the flying Scotsman when I’m Australia in Wagga and feel privileged for the experience
I think Queensland also has trains that run on road too.but mostly i think it was only in Rockhampton. But also I love this view from the cab.great video.
my dad, a steam loco fireman then a driver, told me about the line down the main street of wichie (and koondrook). he knew every line in the state. it was his job. the hot working environment, especially in summer, generates a big thirst. here in wichie there are pubs on both sides very near the line. imagine a goods train going slowly through this town on a stinking hot day. would it be a normal occurrence for one of the crew to rush over and grab some thirst quenchers, lets say 2 bottles, which would get them to another town along the way to where there is bound to be a "station hotel" or a "railway hotel" and get a couple more and do this all the way to mildura. dad never mentioned doing this but my own experience is that the beer never had any inebriating effect on me when i was doing bloody hard work. he must have done it. and every crew on slow steam loco hauled goods trains probably did it.
Nice video mate I love how the trains go down the center of the main street in Wycheproof. Would love to see a train go down the main street one day. Very nicely captured.
I loved it the simple quiet engine and the site of the main street brought back memories for me when i used t transport fruit to the Markets through this town. Always had a great stop oved for a Meal as well. Well done. Aussie.
never seen the train run through great view from a train on the way thru in a car its extremely strange to see railway line run down the road shortest way is always the best way
Remember seeing that as a kid in the 70's & 80's. Was recently reminded of it while in Mossman in FNQ. Sitting at the Post Office Hotel with the cane train coming past.
I used to collect at Whycheproof for the Salvos every Friday night at those 2 pubs. The first time I saw a train there it gave me a real fright as I was driving up the main street not expecting it.
I am not exactly sure of the time or the class of loco - but about 6 or 7 years back - I was standing on the platform of NTH GEELONG station and an old beat "X" (not sure - but the same style as this one) -class style loco was pulling a load of cement bulk tankers slowly along the platform area - I stood in awe as the crew gave me the thumbs up - HA - they must have read the expression of sheer delight seeing it. Have a safe and nice day all. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.
I have stayed at the motel(next to the pub) a few times, whilst doing some work at the Wyche hospital. Never once saw a train...sad to miss out on such a sight. Peter L
YT algorithm showed this video to me and it's awesome! You see that kind of running in the US and up north but this would have to be the only place in Victoria that this occurs? 🤔 Subbed, can't wait for the full version. 👍
I agree - NEATO - and I will be planning a holiday there - drinking BEER outside the pub//s on a warm SUMMER evening whilst the train rolls past. Have a safe and nice day all. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.
You’ll get used to the phrase “out in the sticks” because this place is a long drive from anywhere. And you will appreciate a cold beer in summer. And shade.
@@darrylvanrooy By Australian standards, nowhere in Victoria is a long drive. Could easily do the round trip from Melbourne in one day, including a long lunch at the pub. :)
Apart from the Nathan’s? On the nose and the giveaway late model cars & trucks you see here & there this vision from the cab of the Bulldog would be the same view over many decades from the 1950’s by the crews & l have to wonder how many times and for how many years that same loco has been down that same path, but complements on a wonderful bit of filming on looks like a wonderful day! 👍 enjoy watching this quite a few times
Came through there this morning on the way back to Melbourne after a couple of weeks in covid free WA. What a difference between WA and Victoria! I think Wycheproof and Rockhampton are the only two places with street running in Australia, correct me if I’m wrong.
@@AUSSIETRAINDRIVER I was up in Rockhampton loading railway sleepers for BHP in the Pilbara a few months ago and someone said they were going to relocate the rail line so it doesn’t run down the street, if that’s true then Wycheproof will be unique.
@@AUSSIETRAINDRIVER Yeah mate. Joined the footplate in 79 and ended up on the sparks around 84 and would go back to the diesels every 12 months or so to keep my hand in. Pulled the pin on the job in 90 then became a Paramedic. Got bored, made some good mates and good times. Money was always good but now its great! Did some relieving at Donald once and didm the pass up to Mildura once.
I think the music is perfect for this video. Great job. Its amazing the comments from people that ask "why the music". If you don't like it, don't watch it. Make your own video.
Love these videos, love for there to be a caption telling us what the train consisted of And what sort of loco’s were used. Looks like at least one either A, B or S class.🇦🇺
I remember as a child in the late 50's or very early 60/61, K Class? black steam engine running through Wycheproof. Can't recall if it was hauling grain or passengers.
Awesome video! It was a pleasure to watch. There's so many ugly railways, I have always wondered why either the railways themselves, local councils, state or federal government's, have never thought to beautify railway corridors. It seems that hardly a thought goes towards what is visible from the train. Imagine if, wherever you went by rail the views were as good as this or better? There's no reason it couldn't or shouldn't be done, there's employment to be had and eventually Australia would have travellers who come here just to travel by rail. I've thought about this every time I look out of the train's windows. People would put up with the noise and smells (that I actually like. Call me weird) much more if the views were guaranteed to be picturesque. I've never bothered to research if parliament have dedicated fund's to do this. Knowing our government, the money would have been mishandled and wasted with a hint of corruption if it ever was. Thoughts?
I don't think it gets cooler than this.driving that through a beautiful town down the street.and most of all doing it peacefully without hanging on the horn button like the americans do waking everybody up for miles around!. top video mate,
Yeah no need to hang off the horn if everyone obeys the rules, if you can't see a train driving up the street one may need their eyes checked. We just use the horn as necessary generally or in locations where visibility is limited.
Fantastic. Makes me homesick. Decades since I was there. Was this filmed recently? Or in the 1950s? Cars look modern and no people suggests COVID lockdown. Green grass so winter? Thank you 😍
@@AUSSIETRAINDRIVER The B Class began in 1952. Some were up-engineered to become A Class. The 5-trumpet Leslie horn on the front indicates an A Class. Great video.
A lot more civilised than the drivers on the line that goes through Ballarat, Maryborough, St Arnaud, Donald… They don’t give a polite toot at crossings, but often lean on the horn for ages.
Goodday Adam, That was so super cool. Were you traveling south or north bound. 2 years ago I did a stint of Mildura running for a mate, never caught a combo through the town. It would be a real shame when it goes from BG to SG & running NR class. Something special running old Bulldogs through these old country towns. Cheers Louis 👍
2:04 I love the fact that even in the 21st. century the road-sign symbol for trains is a steam loco!!
I know right!
And I thought it was a poodle...
Easiest symbol for a train as not everyone would recognize a diesel locomotive.
In Japan their signs are an EMU, it looks like a tram sign. I think we're one of the last to use a steam train in the sign.
@@briannem.6787 I think that is why it is a steam loco on ours. No ambiguity as to what it is representing.

Awesome bakery there! The best meat and salad rolls!
When a classic EMD locomotive merges into the road you let him in. or else! lol. Nice little video! Can't wait to see the full ride.
