- Travel with the train driver as we journey from Laverton Loop to Manor Loop in the west of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia on the standard gauge interstate line to Adelaide in S307, a 66 year old locomotive built in NSW and based on the EMD F7 design.

I was told the L/Xng at hoppers was gone did the over pass before the platform replace it,another familiar turf,and it’s you belting along,aye.
Take care safe railroading ,👋👋👏👏👍
Yes, that overpass replaced the crossing 👍 Many changes have been made to the system. Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😀
Thanks again Putty Cat.
Puurrrfect 🐈 Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😀
@@driver667 I had a "feline" you'd reply like that! LOL😁
@@neilforbes416 🙄🤣🤣👍
Where did the excursion leave from, once I find the first clip I'll go back to the start. I watched the video from Manor Loop to North Geelong yesterday because we had visited Manor Loop 30 November.
I was planning to video a fright train heading toward Melbourne but on that windy morning it wasn't to be. The drone controller kept saying to reduce the altitude because of the wind.
Caught some VLocity sets going over the flyover and 1 locomotive hauled passenger train.
Hi from NZ,
Anthony.
Drones are great but they really don't like the wind. Glad you got to see a few trains at least. The tour started at Broadmeadows. The first video is the link below. Hello to NZ and a very Merry Christmas to you and your family 👍😀🎄🎅 th-cam.com/video/Wqv4h52WtjM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Dck7Nyto7bt-Cj3O
just read that you were one of the drivers, how cool is that? It was fairtly scooting along there for awhile! Sweet vid, thanks
You're welcome 😊 Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😀
Good video. 👍
Very happy to hear you enjoyed the ride 👍 😊
@667 Now, now..... mind your *manor(s)!* LOL😁
I'll try 😀👍
Those bridges have very minimal clearance, What if in the future they wanted to double stack the freight 🤔❤️
They have no plans to double stack along this route but if they did, the older bridges would need rebuilding. 😊👍
Bridges are the least of their worries. Its all the tunnels in the Adelaide hills which are the real problem to stopping double stacking along this part of the interstae routes
@@tazzer9 yes, that is a big impediment 👍😊
How did 307 go?? Run alright?? Sure looks a lot nicer than when we moved it at SCT Altona for the pick up.
Yet another top video. Keep em coming mate and all the best 😊
Thank you. 307 seemed to run pretty good, just a few little bugs but nothing major 👍😊
Werribee Racecourse is on the RIGHT SIDE at 7,25. 😅
Werribee racecourse station platform is on the left of this train. 👍😊
@driver667 Well, no station there nowadays. No station in Melway. Maybe vline 20 years ago ???? Cheers.
@@user-do1bk3mb9t actually if you head on down there you will see the platform is still there next to the west line, just disused. That's what I was indicating in the video 👍😊
Street view of 1 Galvin Rd Werribee shows platform structure still in place as of 2014 when the camera car was out that way. Places like Paisley on the Werribee line have altered so much with changes to infrastructure. Thanks to you both for alerting me to yet another station lost! @@driver667
Were you running empty , The locomotive did not sound like it was laboring ? 👍
We were running a train and the loco was working. It was a heritage passenger train. 👍😊
Whats causing the "squeak" when the horn is blown? Is it a small leak in the horn valve ?
Correct. 👍😊
@@driver667 thought so 😊👍
4 SG tracks at Laverton Loop down to only 1. 😬😬 I don’t like single track.
At Laverton there is a major rail terminal there and a crossing loop, the line is normally single track.
Query answered 👍😊
Where does ride end up??? 🤔🤔
This specific train went to Portland but it got dark by Maroona and I think there was a crew change there.
@@lachlanbaker2031 it did go to Portland but no crew change, we ran it right through to Portland. 👍😊
Did you operate this service?
Yes, I was one of the two drivers running this train. 😊👍
