Have you done, or would you do, a driver's view of a train on a turntable? That might be fun to see. Cool video. 😊

Two engines pulling not very much.

Did not know Metrol is controlling Arden St Yard

Nice, another journey that takes in some landscapes I was very familiar with in years gone by. I spent much of my early childhood in Drouin and Warragul, my earliest memories were formed there. And I spent my teenage years in Mirboo North, a bit south of where this line goes, but in very much the same sort of Gippsland landscape. Thanks for this!

So you park the train there, now you're one and a half stations away from Southern Cross... and you're expected to walk back or something? Or are you expected to sit there all day and wait for it to be needed again?

👍

Interesting there's a morning train and afternoon train (same train of course) i asked this question where is it during the day in the siding of course that someone who explained to me😀

sorry for being un informed but what was the reason fir that ?

Genuine question, what happens if a train passes a red light?

The second Arden Street yard

I thoroughly enjoyed this, even though it brought back some memories of opportunities lost. Oh well, life goes on and I really have nothing to complain about.😊

Not the most thrilling video. 😅 But a little insight into that astonishing jigsaw puzzle, that is running a Railroad!

Another Great video

What does Free V/Line Tickets mean.?

very good

Great Vid. I took this route every day as a Kid and remember it well. My grandfather was the Station Master at McKinnon for 30 odd years. When I was very young, I stayed with him in the Signal Box while Mum went into town shopping. He would hold me up so I could pull on leavers and big wheel to operate the Gates. Was a thrill as a young Kid of 5. I was given his old H Key for the gates and I also have his lighter that he used to light the old lanterns. He was a very proud of McKinnon as it had lots of flower boxes that he tendered too along the platform and hanging baskets that hung on the Old wrought iron along the fascia of the platform. Just to note all the old platforms had beautiful wrought iron lattice along them not the scalloped tin we see today. It was removed in the 90's. Same as Yarraville station on the williamstown line. I saw them one morning at Yarraville removing them and they looked shonky. Always did wonder if it was a shonky job or deliberate by Vic Rail. Thanks again for the Vid, has captured my youth and memories of granpa Ryan.

Loving this series. The slog up from the standing start at Lakeside is always a treat. Must be challenging in the wet. Which loco was this? Fine conditions on the day but handled the mostly 1 in 40 with aplomb.

Great video 😊...I've watched the train pass for years, but this perspective is wonderful. So many familiar buildings and crossings ❤

👍

Ah, nice! I went to Uni in Ballarat about 25 years ago. Can see the house I lived in for a year or so near the start. Good times! Also bad times... mostly good though!

Nobelius sounds like a high born Roman. I wonder if he's a friend of Bigus Dickus?🤔😅

They may not be long or exciting, but all these little "off-the-beaten-track" Rail trips are scenic and showing me parts of my own Country, I'd never get to see otherwise. Thank you, from Perth.

I got on the train - just as it was leaving the station --- 🏃🏃‍♂🏃🏃🙂

Another Great video

What are the extra beams for at Glen Huntly station?

kind of a boring run.

Been 23 years since I've driven that section The only bridge was the Kwinana Freeway, rest were all level crossings.. Thanks for the cab ride

Thanks for this ride!! Greetings from Apeldoorn (the Netherlands).

Awesome video so far!😁

Why run two gauges on this line? Its all heavy haulage isnt it? Just asking as im a rail worker that is fifo to the pilbara but i live in baldivis so occasionally catch the domestic line to the CBD?

i love puffy billing i ride it 3 times i love it and it remine me happy person

I wonder why Frankston bound metros now use the outer platform 3 side from Caulfield to Moorabbin now?

👍

Gotta love all the clicky and creaky sounds.😄 Also I'm glad the train went straight at the first set of points. Considering that freight train on the other line, this could have ended up as a very short video.😳

Greatest job in the World here

I’ve been to Rottnest island in December 2023. Rented a bike and toured the entire island. I saw tracks but did not realize that trains still ran on them. Thank you for the video as it brings back some wonderful memories of my visit to there and Perth! I wish I didn’t have to leave…

I had a schoolmate in the mid 60's whose father was in PBPS and he used to say, "We'll never get back to Gembrook. The trestles at Cockatoo are too far gone and way too expensive to replace." Just goes to show what dedication & hardwork can do. And perserverance of the highest order!

2:36:42 sounds like detonators on the tracks, bang bang bang, what did the sign say the worker was holding on the left side of the tracks.?

Another great video. Glad to see some improvements since my last visit there :)

Good one Colin 👌👍

What's that brown building with the stars on it?

Q: Where lies Cockatoo? A: Inbetween Cocka-One and Cocka-Three! LOL 😁

👍

31:50 Steel train

There are obscenely wealthy people all over the world with huge private jets, yachts the size of small cities, and mansions on acreages bigger than Texas. If I had that kind of money, I'd simply buy my own private luxury carriage on every historic tourist railway in Australia, and just ride my life away... maybe with some cheese and port on the side. :) What a life eh?

👍

Thank you for this great video. Loved the trip through Freo - amazing!

Yep old stations Great views. Great to see

very good train ride
