@@Greensleeves94 Great to know. Piangil is always hit and miss. Thought PN might run a few Emerald grainys as they have been flat out exporting at Appleton Dock but none really yet. Surprised there hasn't been more for Mitiamo and Elmore. They both had record recievals at harvest.
The little "P" class in the lead, that's what I like. Night filming turned out nice too, especially the passenger sets with the shiny bodywork. Great video young Brad!
It's been nice having SSR buy up some of the P Class fleet, for a class that was never really common in Bendigo they've certainly made themselves common here now. Not many Vlocities left in their original non-PTV liveries and it looks like the Sprinters are now in for it with 7001 being released today in the purple. Video of that will probably go up tomorrow.
The Bendigo Yard scenes are filmed from the footpath on the Myrtle St. road bridge, which while it provides a good vantage point comes with the downside of road traffic noise as it's a heavily used bridge, though that's a downside I can easily live with.
I'm surprised they sent it through platform 2 as I don't think there was anything in 1. They put a Vlocity set straight into 2 after the grain cleared though so maybe that was part of the plan.
Hello been watching for quite some time and I've been wondering where do you source your current freight timetables? - I can't seem to find them anywhere - only 12 month old stuff
Links to both V/Line and ARTC timetables are in the video description, but grain trains aren't listed in them as they only run when required. If you watch them enough though you'll start to recognise patterns to when they run. I.e. Elmore trains usually return into Bendigo around 15:00 in the afternoon; Deniliquin trains around 21:00 in the evening and trains from the Swan Hill line anywhere between 02:00 and 03:30 of a morning.
@@Greensleeves94 Thanks I didn't realise I was being blind re:description links haha and good to know on the grain, I suppose it's the same all over the state. Thanks again
Thank you Brad, lovely footage. Great to see the Bendigo line having multiple PN grainys at a time. Hopefully more to come 🙏
Should be 3-4 more Deniliquin runs to come this week but nothing else for Piangil at this stage from what I've seen.

Great vid! Hope ssr can afford some paint at some stage!
Their locos are usually too busy to sit still long enough to get repainted
Nice video.
When you film at Bendigo yard where do you stand an film like is there an area where you are allowed to film?

At 13.46 i am very suprised the 30 wagons can handle 3 turns of Junction switch...Should hand gone through Plateform 1 with smooth turn.
