Double Heritage Diesels in Melbourne! (SRHC, 707, Evie and more!)

Hello and Welcome!
On this very hot 38°C day I decided to go out and film the two heritage specials which were happening on this day. First there was SRHC (Seymour Rail Heritage Centre) who were operating a charter from Melbourne to Albury for the BNV (Bike) event in Albury. Hauled by C501-X31 we see the SRHC charter passing over the North Melbourne flyover on its transfer to Southern Cross station, we then later see the 707 Operations Members train passing over the flyover too on its transfer from Newport Workshops to Southern Cross. 707 was operating their annual "Members and Friends" train to Ballarat which first goes to Ballarat via the old route though Geelong (Geelong - Ballarat line) and then heads back though the normal way via Bacchus Marsh (Hauled by T413-P20-A66). At Southern Cross station we see the SRHC charter departing to head to Albury. Later while I am on my V/Line train to head to Lara to see 707, we are paralleling the SRHC though Tottenham until a Comeng blocks the view...
Down at Lara we see the Southern Cross service from Warrnambool flying though Lara station and then after we see the 707 Members train passing though (A66-P20-T413). Something very unexpected which also happened is that the track inspection train EV120 (Evie) decided to head out to Geelong for the day to do some track inspections, we see it passing though Lara.
Later we then see the 707 Members train heading back to Southern Cross via the normal way though Bacchus Marsh. To let a Southern Cross - Wendouree VLocity service to pass though, the 707 Members train had to stop in the loop/platform 1 at Bacchus Marsh station. After passing though the 707 got the green signal and we see it departing for the last time to head on its way back to Melbourne!
Enjoy!
