Thanks for the efforts here. Very interesting to a not involved in railways type engineer. The Trackwork looks rough though? Wavy, bumpy at joins? Not qualified to judge myself, but maybe it's all 'normal' ... Cheers!
The Standard Gauge line opened on 3 January 1962 when the first through goods train, hauled by two S class locos, arrived at Dynon Freight Terminal. The inauguration of the passenger service was the climax of the standard gauge opening when the Southern Aurora left Sydney at 2245 on 12 April 1962, arriving at Spencer Street at 1230 on Friday 13 April 1962. Not superstitious were they!
@@Schony747 My Dad told me it was something to do with the new track bedding in . Interstate passenger services made money in those days . I remember lining up with hundreds of people & walking through Southern Aurora Carriages at Spencer St.About 6 or 7.
Standard Gauge, Broad Gauge and even Narrow Gauge. It all comes back to state run Railways and to stop competition from other states, there were different gauges. Fortunately the main interstate corridors are now one Standard Gauge. Thanks for having a look from the other side of the universe.
Whats that green tubing on the ol cassic GM27 Anyone know,?? when she is waiting to head back up {VIC UP} on the main for the stick into the passing lane after it did her run around??
Great video again Is it just me or the freight trains between Melbourne & Sydney getting smaller & smaller & with holes still in them meaning missing containers. It has to be un economical for PN to run such short consists, especially with 2 loco's out front. By the way thst grain consists highballed the hell out of town considering it was from a stop start & going up a gradient. Nice camera work really enjoyed it
Depends on the train. The Perth and Brisbane are very lengthy. The single train from Sydney can be small at times. Large consists occur as locos go to Newport for servicing.

Not a qualified engineer either. There was lots of remedial work a few years ago on the standard gauge so there were obviously some issues.
Good information about South wale train linking
Thanks 😀😀
Awesome video I used to live at Seymour & I always loved the view of the Tallarook ranges when passing through the station down to Melbourne.
It's a great view from Seymour that's for sure. Talarook is nice as well
Very interesting post, another beautiful old Vic. country station.
Sometimes the stations are just as interesting as the trains themselves
Great video , i like seeing the signals as well thanks for all you do mate cheers
Thanks for your contributions
Looked like a few train enthusiasts having fun . . .
A couple out for the AK cars which explains the crowd.
Nice video
Thanks. All your contributions are welcome

Interesting that it took another couple of months for passenger trains to run through! Thanks for the info.

Nice! I Liked seeing the Shepparton Trains going Express Through The Platforms.
Nothing like a quick loco hauled train to get anyone excited
@@Schony747 Anytime I see a Loco - Hauled Passenger Train, It makes my Day!
Great video, much enjoyed! I echo other comments here!
Thanks Jim 😀😀
Imagine if Australia had the fastest train in the world
High Speed Rail here?
Tell them ya dreamin!
Awesome stuff . . .
Yes. Thanks for always looking.
Very nice footage as always my friend 👍
Thanks 😀😀
That was great, better than seeing Sydney electrics going up and down all day.
Yeah all suburban schemes get a bit mundane. Melbourne is no different.
Hi ....nice video . I thought all tracks in Australia were Standard gauge...... greetings from Argentina...

Amazing
Thanks Man
Big "Oh Crap" moment for the driver of the XPT through that bog hole...
Things are improving or so we are told by the ARTC.

Green tubing would be for the AK Test Cars which would hook up when the GM is trailing unit.

That track
Pretty common theme here
1st Sprinter I've seen in the new livery colors . . .
Yes. It looks pretty good actually
Hang on so Albury trains stop there
yes due to covid 19
Albury line trains are standard gauge so they can't stop here as there's no platform.
Signage is a bit outdated.
@@Schony747 but you could still take the train to Seymour and transfer services? 😜
Someone forgot to switch the markers on 7016
Seems I was wrong. Hard to tell.
