[ x ] ... Another nice, pleasant journey! Liked the sheep in the meadow!! Thanks for sharing ... stay safe, warm, and posting more! [Greetings from Tucson]
Great video. Big changes at Wangaratta since your video. Platform 2 construction has started, opposite platform 1. Signal gantry is gone, the little dock platform and tin sheds gone. Green St Overpass has been demolished and is currently being rebuilt.
There certainly are big changes happening. I will need to update the video soon to reflect the changes happening. Very happy you enjoyed the video Dan. 👍 😀
It’s a shame they didn’t upgrade the line for 160km/h running from the start, but I suppose it’s better than before. It will be interesting to see what’s next for the north east line and V/Line, perhaps even more services and greater duplication?
@@qjtvaddict yeah but walk before you run, i agree there are sections that could in future run faster trains and the smaller towns could be bypassed but even 160 would be a nice time saving
@@qjtvaddictyou would need the QR ELECTRIC tilt train to get those speeds..been told by a few people it once got clocked doing 220km/h on special runs on the gold coast line in QLD
30:08 Pity the passengers at Springhurst, someone forgot to tell them the train was arriving on platform one. 😮 Clearly see them hurriedly scrambling to the correct platform, I'm sure hoping they all made it aboard in time. 🙂
What are they planning at Chiltern station? They seem to be trying to fix the various instances of track cutting off one side of a town-will they rectify that there and in Barnawatha? @25:37, what train was THAT? Too short to be the Overland (let alone the Indian-Pacific), not an XPT, running on Standard Gauge.... I've got nothing. @30:00 Why do the tracks separate and deviate at Springhurst? Seems a lot for one little bridge, and it cuts off the station from one side of the town. Alas, poor Bowser, we knew ye not, for not a trace remains of the once-great King of Koopas. @41:00 That's a fair number of wooden bridges you got there. Might be nice if somebody replaced them before routing a bunch of double-stacks along that corridor. @43:42 Did the platform at Wangaratta used to extend further north where that curbing is under the plants? I see that the first of the footbridges is down. Poor thing. But the pedestrian underpass is well underway. And it looks like work to remove the cut has begun by shifting all passenger services on to the original line. Did the narrow gauge run along Norton Street? @45:20 Oooh. That's going to be close, getting the clearances under that bridge at Green Street. Maybe they can raise the tracks up, and then extend the elevation over Sisely Street, which looks rather major to be having a grade crossing on such a busy line. @46:50 Okay, so we're going to stay reverse running. That's fine. Just goes to show the flexibility of reverse signalling. Always handy to have, all lines should equip it. @52:20 The tracks pull apart, probably due to the original standard gauge being built on a slightly straighter alignment while the converted broad gauge didn't get the curve improved. Is that something that will be fixed? @53:25 Poor Glenrowan. It really does deserve to have its station reopen. Preferably with a replica of the second station built on the Up track! (or would that be the down track? CURSE YOU, REVERSE RUNNING!!!!) @53:29 I see London, I see France, I see improved grade clearance. (why did that randomly pop into my head when I saw the new bridge replacing the old one?) Man, old bridge is looking old. @1:00:00 Why so slow? (seemingly random slowdown is random) @1:02:00 Were you trying to pay respects to Winton? @1:06:40 Things Inland Rail will accomplish: 1) Improving connection and simplifying junction with Yarrawonga/Oaklands Line. Yup. Its definitely worthwhile. @1:08:28 Fare thee well, Reverse Running. We knew ye greatly. @1:08:32 WOODEN BRIDGES!!!! FEAR THE WOODEN BRIDGES!!!! Neither of those bridges look particularly ready to handle whats coming. Are they slated for replacement? @1:12:29 Oooh! Looks like a wooden bridge is going to get replaced~~!
Here we go ..... I don't know of the plans for Chiltern. Springhurst is a left over from the old days when the standard gauge went through. Those wooden bridges are actually concrete and steel with wood sleepers, locked transom. There are no wooden bridges on the standard gauge. The slowdown of the train speed was due to work beside the track at that point. I think Glenrowan is one station that is ripe for a possible reopening. That's a lot of comments and questions but I thank you for your interest. Keep suggesting and talk to your local member of parliament. That makes sure they know what the public wants and can hopefully work towards some of the ideas becoming reality. 👍😀
Siding @ 0:50 and Bridge @ 1:06-future double tracking for Inland Rail? @14:36 that's the bridge that they just just lowered the track under. They did an amazing job. If you didn't know any better, you would have a hard time noticing it. It's really been blended smoothly into the landscape.
The bridge was built when the broad gauge still ran into the back platform at Albury and the siding was built recently to enable the vlocity units to shunt out to stable at Albury without needing a main line move. I am waiting to see what the plans are for the Murray River crossing. That will need a new bridge as the old bridge is not suitable and I am sure it would be heritage listed. 👍😀
@@andypandy4069 That's not a line to nowhere. That's just a section of formerly double track that is currently single track. (and will hopefully be returned to double track in the future)
@2:00:00 ..and the tracks spread apart. With a really long and rather abandoned siding alongside the track being followed. It strongly suggests that that is the original SG alignment, and the other route is the first alignment. @2:01:11 And narrowing down to one track entering Seymour, but with room for another on the BG bridge. Yeah. Definitely need some gauge conversion and rationalization here (preferably with more than two tracks). @2:01:30 Wowzers, is that yard a mess! Gauge conversion can't reach Shepperton soon enough. @2:02:02 You can tell by the curvature where they just forced a single extra SG track in. Straighten this, please! Just convert the main platforms to dual-gauge and you can re-connect the station with the surrounding neighborhood. (and not have a curved platform impairing handicapped accessibility) Not to mention keeping giant double-stack freights from being quite so close to people's houses. @2:03:51 Two single track parallel lines. :facepalm: This is something worthy of BR or the US. One four-track railway, please! @2:04:45 Well, at least they did SOMETHING once they were clear of the Goulburn River. @2:07:07 The lines up towards Mansfield and Alexandria would be interesting and possibly worthy to re-open. @2:07:16 Tallarook should be one gauge, with four tracks and local platforms (repeat this formula all the way south). @2:07:32 See? Four tracks. Not that hard. @2:08:04 And what they do with those bridges is going to be interesting. @2:09:10 Mr. Signal, I'm afraid your going to need to move. @2:17:00 What's that branching off on the left? Where did that line go? @2:19:03 You know, it's not often that you just see a four-track unelectrified main line gliding through hills nowadays. @2:19:30 Sing it again, folks! Unnecessary Complications! Caused by multiple gauges. :sigh: Just one switch onto a local track. Followed by some crossovers. No expensive and all-but-useless diamonds. @2:21:00 A newer alignment, built with only one track. What will they do with the regauging? Move everything onto one alignment and abandon the older one, like they should? @2:23:04 Up and down. Up and down. It's hard for me to tell, which is maintaining easier grades? And which has better curves? Does it vary? Is it always the SG line? @2:25:00 Given the way the line peaks and dips at Wandong, could they just cut through the hill to eliminate the grades and the grade crossing?
Too much to unpack in this forum. The broad gauge was the original from the 1800's. The standard gauge went through in 1962. There is no more gauge conversion happening, Shepparton is staying broad gauge. That is the original standard gauge alignment running into Seymour. It runs through what was a broad gauge freight yard before 1962. That little track on the left before kilmore east is just an old track machine siding. Glad you enjoyed the ride 👍 😀
The track and signalling, level crossings etc. all have to be upgraded for 160kph. The vlocity themselves are capable of 160kph. They don't have odometers but you are right, they travel a lot of kilometres. 👍😀
I think it's time for everything north of craigieburn to be converted to SG. The line north to tocumwal could then connect in to the old NSW system to open up more rail freight possibilities. The line from Toolamba to Echucha could also be SG'd and all the lines north of there that feed in to NSW which could then also hook up to some NSW lines.
So much has changed since I was last in the area in January 1993. It's almost disheartening to see what is left of Albury, let alone the Wodonga bypass.
You think that is bad? Have a look at Toowoomba station in QLD..a SHADOW of it's former self.. now only having a twice weekly train to Charleville passing through Toowoomba 🥺
@@BigBlueMan118 I would think the problem there at this stage is ARTC controls that track. Unless the federal government jumps on board with higher speeds, I can't see that the current 130kph will change. 👍😀
@@driver667 at the same time on the NSW side from Albury to Junee is almost entirely 150-160kph and there are plenty of other sections in NSW on ARTC-controlled track where running speeds are 145-160kph where curvature allows.

@@martinkrollig2220 trains in Victoria, NSW and Queensland travel at up to 160kph, just as they do across Europe through protected level crossings. Anything over this speed would then require total separation of road and rail. 👍😀
