- Travel with the train driver as we journey from Berrybank Loop to Gheringhap on the standard gauge interstate line between Adelaide and Melbourne. We are running a heritage passenger train led by an S class diesel locomotive made in the 1950's. October 2023

Was a wonder trip, even though twas a little cloudy. I think I've been spoiled with all the trips you posted from sunny days with blue skies. 😎
We can't have great weather all the time I guess. 🤣🤣👍😀
@@driver667 But whyyyyyyyyyyy? (little Marty whined) 😭
Did you notice the S curve at Cressy? It was a station on the north south Newtown-Irrewarra line and then the Gheringhap-Maroona line was built (within a year), Cressy enjoyed a time as a four way junction and then the north south line was closed.
On the tour I did with 22RM (a Walker), we were able to take the rail car to a stub off the Irrewarra line which led to the out of use turntable. Not sure how much of the turntable remains in the long grass.
It would have neen neat to have a rail from Ballarat to Colac. This line was mentioned in OS Nock’s book “Railways of Australia”, There was an article about him in Divisional Diary in 1970 when he rode on a steam special to Maroona. I have the book and a photocopy of the OS Nock article.
It would be great to be able to step back in time for a short time and travel the line from Ballarat to Colac. 👍😀
@@driver667 I’d love to travel back to 1952
@@darylcheshire1618 that would be my destination for a holiday 👍😀
G'day, thanks for the down this line, with bypass areas there must be quite a number of long slow grain trains on the line during the season, all converging to one spot would be good too see when their in full swing, cheers mate, Neil 🤠.
Gets a few grain trains heading for Geelong. Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😀
Talking about the trees beside the rail lines,railway corridors provde important habitat esp for birds to move through,esp when much of the surroundings have been cleared,l am always pleasantly surprised when walking rail trails or near railways the amount of birdlife present
The rail corridors are a haven for birds and other wildlife 👍😀
I think this line needs much more trees beside the railway line
@@brucec7034 the right type of trees though so we don't end up with trees across the track 👍😀
Gum trees that are notorious for dropping limbs or falling over on a breezy day get planted right along the railway line, brilliant.
And they do drop every so often 🤔👍
@@driver667 While I know that it's generally not part of the youtube dynamic to reply to replies may I ask, what happens, let's say on this particular line, if you do see a tree branch or larger limb or even a whole tree across the line ? Does it entail a full stop and a call for assistance ?
@@ellesmerewildwood4858 depends on the situation but, yes. It has happened a few times that assistance is required. 👍😊
looked like a big section of track that needed repaired/replaced (where all that new ballest) from that SCT Derailment at Inverleigh last year from that BIG wash out
It was. Best bit of track on the line now. 👌 👍😊
Hello sir, yet another great video in this series. Will be sad when they are over. I am sure you will keep adding, well I certainly hope you do. Quick question if I may. The sign at 4:11, what does that mean. There is a number of them, so obviously there for a good reason.
That is a predictor board. The system works out the speed of the train and when to activate the next level crossing. The train speed should not increase between the board and the crossing. 👍🙂
@@driver667 Such a simple but important sign. Thank you very much for taking the time to respond.
@@WayneKline 👍🙂
So THAT'S what those signs mean! I often wondered but never had anyone to explain it. Thanks. 😄@@driver667

Always wonder at the "site of" who named these places? ,why were they there , why did they die?
That's back from the time where it was bragged that "Every town and village in Victoria was within 5 miles of a railway station, (except for the mountains in the Northeast)". Before cars were made affordable to the average person, the only ways to travel were by train and horse, so stations and branch lines linked to main lines were made plentiful. When average people could afford cars and roads were made and paved, that made them obsolete, and they were mostly demolished.
There is a story behind every name of a town out there. 👍😀
The areas that show up a white are they lack of ballast over concrete sleepers or mud holes, if mud holes do you feel them in the drivers seat?
They are mud holes and yes, we feel them. 👍😊
Thanks I thought so@@driver667
👍😊
