Great footage of various trains from a variety of locations, it's obvious you select your locations well, great scenery and backdrops. Do the "Country Splits" NOHAB "MZ" class run into Victoria? Never see them in southern clips. well done, very professional!
@@Schony747 You're not missing much, they are renown for mainline failures. Much in need of a total overhaul and rebuild, showing their age, then again they were near worn out when they arrived from Denmark.
I can't get over the abrupt grade shanges you have. Also, it appears your trains are getting longer (like here in the US). Beautiful country, great video.
Some of the trains are getting longer but are now generally limited to 1500 metres on the East Coast and 1800 meters East to West due to the size of the crossing loops.
Goodday Brendan, Great to see some DL action even though it wasn't leading. Those double classic bulldogs out of Charlton awesome my favorite. Great video thoroughly enjoyed Cheers Louis 👍
They use to call train examiners "wheel tappers" so yes, they sort of kick the tyres but it's not the drivers it's the examiners that do a full exam before departure in Melbourne. They check wheels for flat spots, cracks, high flanges, spalling etc they look at all of the bogie components and do a full air test then issue the driver with a brake certificate.
It's full of export food and citrus products from the Riverina on the return trip. There is some loading for Bomen just before Wagga Wagga but most of the train originates in the Riverina.
Love that RS5T
Sounds pretty good doesn't it!
excellent compilation with varied trains and routes LOVE THIS !!!! LIKEd
Thanks! I just enjoy getting out there and filming trains.
Really amazing ! Your framing of the takes was spot on. Big thumbs up ! James/FFV.
Thanks 😀😀😀😀
Fantastic video 👍
Thanks 😀😀😀😀
2:20 that’s a beautiful RS5T
Yes indeed and the C class is a firm favourite amongst rail fans as well
🎉
Thanks Tim

I think the furthest south it has ventured is Benalla and no further. I wouldn't expect to see it in Melbourne

Pacific national train crash is even dangerous☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
If you had a free afternoon to watch Freight, what destination would you go too?
Most locations down this way freight is spread well apart..I wouldn't mind heading back Junee way again. There's always plenty to look at up there.

Thanks! Back in 2012 and 2013 it was still possible to get some variety with the DL even leading. I'll put that in another video.
@@Schony747
That would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Louis 👍
But Where Is The EMD SD40-2
Or even worse
Good video
I'm wondering, like what truck drivers do when they stop, do train drivers have to kick their wheels when they too stop?
I'm assuming on start up there would be the usual checks mate. You'd need pretty hard shoes to kick a train wheel.😀😀
@@Schony747 I like to imagine they stop for a break and do the walk. They could also use the big jemmy bar like truckies do 😂😂

Great vid. Schony. A wide variety of locations here!
Thanks Jim 😀😀😀😀
I think the container train can run up to 120?
115 km per hour on most ARTC standard gauge tracks. Slightly less on tracks such as Victoria's broad gauge
@@Schony747 oh
Good i like it
Thanks 😀😀😀😀
Great video !!!
Thanks 😀😀😀😀
Have to admit, most of these Australian diesel locomotives look pretty nice! And, they even sound like they have an American train horn.
Some were designed and built in America as well.
@@Schony747 Oh really? Which locomotives was built in American? If you know a few.
Nice video. A nice mix of Standard and Broad gauge trains in this video.
Thanks. I try and mix it up to keep it interesting
First shot - a train to Griffith?. What happens when a train of that size gets to Griffith???! What happens then?
It's full of export food and citrus products from the Riverina on the return trip. There is some loading for Bomen just before Wagga Wagga but most of the train originates in the Riverina.
@@Schony747 OK, but those are bulk cars they are moving. What goes into those?
AT 9.44 THAT MUST BE THE GRAFFITI TRAIN. LOL
There are a few of those running around 😂🤣😅
AWESOME :)
21:20 septembeer lol🤣
A month early for Oktoberfest sorry about that
12:12 that third loco is filthy
Some of the coal locos up that way could certainly do with a wash!
@@Schony747 yeah
Awesome footage. Some of those grain trains were booking! Some thrash and clag too!
And the older stuff gives out lots of clag and awesome sound as well
😊
Thanks 😀😀
