Those paths I often see in your vids are more likely to be wallaby in wombat highways. Loved seeing the blue tongue lizard as well. I really enjoyed this vid too 😊
Cheers for watching !
Wallabies at good at trimming black berries. They come through nightly and trim the soft tips. If you see black berries withe briars trimmed like this look for wallaby pop to confirm. Going to suggest if cleaning up some of the briars at Baxter triangle keep looking for this. Other option for cleaning an area up is talking to the local CFA brigade as they will be aware of these areas.
The number on the signal CBE 795 is an area description, CBE being short for Cranbourne and the number is the number of the signal, in case there was a fault or problem with it repair crews would be able to identify which signal it is and be able to repair it quickly. Every signal and post on the metro system has an identifying number so that if repairs are needed crews can follow up quickly and know exactly which bit of infrastructure to service. The sign with the 46 on it is not a speed sign it is the number of kilometres from Melbourne, these signs are posted along most routes through the network. The platforms at the edges of rail bridges are called refuges. Discrete refuges are used to provide discrete safe place areas on a bridge for authorised staff to stand clear of a passing train. I hoped I have helped with some of your questions in this video.......
Awesome mate!!!! Cheers for all of that! Definitely helped a lot with things I wasn’t sure about ! After I posted the video I realised I knew they’re were mile markers aswell aha! But appreciate your comment and help do hope you are enjoying my channel !!
@@Victorian_steam 👍👍👍👍👍👍
You are an absolute superstar and also brave to do what you do I did Cranbourne a few weeks ago it is up on and also did some of the of the old train signals excellent video mate I really enjoyed it
Cheers James!! I did run into 5 snakes at Monomeith aswell! A bit early for them to be out! But cheers! Will check out your vids now aswell!
Very interesting thanks. I think those platforms on the bridge are called refuges, so rail workers could get out of the way quickly when a train came.
Cheers!! Was so curious aha!
You need to make yourself a light duty rail trike then you could cover some ground. Admittedly the gates and prickles might slow you down a bit though. The bush at the end of the long bridge is a Briar Bush not a Blackberry. There thorny as hell and the rabbits love them. Maybe the single piece of rail at Nyora was the missing piece from back down the line. It's a shame there's so much missing rail because there's so many rail buff's out there that would jump at the chance to restore the line I'm shore.
If only wasn’t so over grown! And yes would love to see it restored
All these buffs you speak of, where were they when the SGR needed manpower to run and maintain it??? This WAS the best tourist railway in the state when it started operating, now its a flipping bike track...
I agree with what you say mate. It's the same with everything that was once there now gone and all the as I called them " buff's ' come out of the woodwork and start trying to reconstruct a monster where as they could have just repairs but, it's like everything, they won't grizzle until it's all gone. @@dunxy
Nice video mate. It's interesting to see the poles for the over head wires in place just after Cranbourne station. I believe they have something to do with the electrification to Clyde. Cool bridges too. I have been needing to take a visit down to Nyora station to see what is happening there, I have heard that Korumburra has changed quite a lot so it might be worth going down and having a look.
Cheers! Yeah there bits and pieces happening down there! I’ll go back in my next video possibly !
It's sad to see our rail history disappearing.
I really think the government should step up and start looking at options of fixing and rebuilding instead of spending billions on crap we don't need and start helping those we do.
Like I understand from a very good friend of mine that the bus service out there is almost no Existent.
So having trains again would be fantastic and so much easier for people since some of these smaller towns are starting to grow.
Going back to the start of the video wasn't there a section of line that was ment to be getting reopened ?
It would be great to have it back! And yes rail to Clyde is proposed but need to see it actually progress !
@@Victorian_steam yeah because you where saying something about a factory of some sort getting built on the otherside of cranbounre narra Warren road
@@jimhiggon4696yes there’s construction happening but I’m not sure what’s being built
If this track was in USA it would be put to use as a tourist attraction by running rail cars in tours usually something like a golf cart with maybe three or four carfs with one cart pulling a refreshment coffee urn They run regularly over abandoned track and are popular
I’ve seen vids of this!!!
In Australia, every rail infrastructure has to be built to top standard. In 2000 we rode the Walhalla Goldfields Railway, and the guard told us at that time, "bringing the train into Walhalla (which is operational now) will require 2 more trestle bridges for our narrow-gauge trains. However, government regulations demand having them built to full Victorian broad-gauge standard, just in case the track to Walhalla will be rebuilt to that mode on day in the future. We are hoping for the A$ 1 million estimated to come from the government from some tourism fund allocations. We do not get enough private donations to manage it ourselves."
I guess, another obstacle for opening lines for tourism could be any level crossings which the "Nanny State" is as scared of as a vampire is of garlic. Running a railway these days is so expensive, the ticket prices scaled to recover all costs, even if the line is run by volunteers, will keep passengers off, pressed enough by cost of living these days.

Felt like I had to 😂
Come on,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,scared of a Wombat?
