Double Stacked Freight Train in Outback Australia

[@TheMetGuy]

Double stack trains in Australia are impressive

[@australiantruckspotting8883]

These are impressive to see travelling across the outback

[@aussiechainreactions6619]

Awesome catch mate! Great to see AN power!

[@lachlanbaker2031]

Aaaand they’re gone

[@FishplateFilms]

Nice camera work Matt! Double stacks just don't look the same behind a NR..LOL Would be much better with a Dash 9 or two!!
Cheers Gregg:-)

[@FishplateFilms]

An's are not bad , but I'm afraid once you've seen US locos in the flesh, the Aussie stuff leaves me a bit underwhelmed..LOL. But at leat you get some variety down there!

Unreal that just 2 loco's could pull all that weight

[@venbruh6844]

The power of trains

[@OutsideZe]

The weight creates friction

[@patsysmith540]

Absolutely awesome!!

[@multiranger748]

We need more of them I think 🤔

[@TheMetGuy]

That is one huge train

[@trainsportjunction9673]

Amazing❤❤

[@hobeone1192]

I'm gonna ride this train next year.

[@Yasnugget]

how bruh

[@Spooms1961]

I’m surprised to see double stacked trains in Australia. I’ve only seen the amazingly huge American ones doubled up. Is this only on specific routes where there are the bridge tolerances, etc?

[@cityraildude]

Only west of Parkes, NSW, and the if I'm not wrong, the new inland rail from Melbourne to Brisbane

[@marioxerxescastelancastro8019]

What gauge is this?

[@MS_Trains]

Standard Gauge, 1,435 mm or if you want it in imperial, 4 ft 8 + 1⁄2 in.

[@jimcrawford5039]

Standard Guage.

[@justanaturalcarguy4031]

Never seen some trains towing cars

[@MS_Trains]

Can be pretty common between Adelaide & Perth on PN Trains.

Five locomotives and probably a couple of miles longer.

[@mickeynismocat]

What is the 3rd carriage?

[@mickeynismocat]

@@MS_Trains Oh great, thanks for the info!

[@jimcrawford5039]

Extra crew accomodation for shift changes. It’s a long way between rail centres.

[@fieldmarshal7298]

Man I love Australian locomotives, a change from the monotonous North American ones

[@byronchavarria4954]

4,000 Miles

[@michaelsrailwayfilms7928]

Byron Chavarria we use kilometres.

[@ghazialghazali6425]

1435?

[@勝又祐介]

Longest freight train.

[@blake9358]

I don't actually like all the private operators.
Labor needs to nationalise the railways again to Australian National or Commonwealth railways
