Just found your page, please tell us a little more about the locations etc. We know very little about railways in Australia. Mike "Rails in Wales" with 4.4m views...have a look.
Thanks for your comment. I am not very up to date with the railways in Victoria. Not enough to provide commentary or fill my description with valuable info. Apologies for being lazy.
The double line with the VLocity and Sprinter railcars (V/Line) is broad gauge - 1600 mm. This line once went as single track railways to Albury in NSW with the secondary line to Shepparton in Victoria and Tocumwal in NSW, but since about 2011 the broad gauge line parallel to the standard gauge line from Seymour to Wodonga (Albury-Wodonga is called the 'Twin City') has been standardised. Google is your friend to look up these locations. The tracks to the left are the Sydney to Melbourne main line - standard gauge in Victoria since 1962 - 1435mm, the same as England. There is also originally a broad gauge branch from Benalla to Yarrawonga (Vic) and Oaklands (NSW that was also standardised. When it had passenger services, it was a single 'unit' as you would call it, typically a DERM (diesel electric rail motor) dating from the late 1920s. A lovely rail motor! The line off the Tocumwal one from Toolamba to Echuca was reopened in 2013 but has again been unused since about 2018 IIRC. Hope all this helps.
Good
Thanks
I wondered when the sydney train would go through. Shame it was such a fleeting view. Nice day for your filming.

Yeah. Just down from the station.
