12:10: This sounds EXACTLY like the F59PHs we used to have on Metrolink! God I miss those bad boys :(

[@Schony747]

Probably similar. The A class was rebuilt from The B class and the turbo sounds really good. Check out the Wiki link en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/V/Line_A_class

[@hakeemspiveyproductions2001]

This is a 645. The F59PHs had 710s.

[@NicholassTrainChannel]

Wow this video has like every type of train you can think of!

[@Schony747]

Well I can't get out so I'm putting these compilations together. I think people like the concept.

[@timvandiepen8373]

Awesome

[@Schony747]

Thanks 😀😀

[@doncraig-brown7163]

The containers on the first train originated in Mildura during the conversion to standard gauge. Wakefield Transport now Seaway operated road trains to Manangatang and loaded there.

[@Schony747]

100% correct.

[@doncraig-brown7163]

Schony747 I live in Mildura. Shame we don’t have more trains here.

[@edmundcarew7235]

@@doncraig-brown7163 But the second intermodal set is now running at times as lately, container traffic has built up, thankfully. I know what you mean though.

[@jimcrawford5039]

Terrific variety of trains Schony. Wonderful.

[@Schony747]

Thanks Jim

[@edmundcarew7235]

The tremendous opening sequence was for a temporary arrangement while the Mildura line (north of Dunolly, plus the indirect route Ararat to Maryborough) was being converted to standard gauge (and in latter case reopened), so a brief explanation about that would have been good but thankfully a comment below has already said some of that. A very, very good representation of lower east coast Oz trains, sans Queensland, WA and for what it's worth, Tasmania. Great video!

[@Schony747]

Hopefully that section gets SG to as promised!

[@edmundcarew7235]

@@Schony747 Read the Auditor General's report. It extensively covers this subject. Hard to see SG happening unless there's eventually a change of government in Victoria. But I agree conversion is essential and ought occur.

[@Schony747]

Metro buys votes a few in the bush isn't worth the investment I guess.

[@edmundcarew7235]

@@Schony747 True, but such investment brings income/payroll/GST/land tax revenue and most importantly, jobs whether direct or indirect, and has side benefit of rural Councils/Regional Roads Victoria (VicRoads) spending less on fixing roads damaged by repeated B-Doubles.

the sound starting at 12:10 is especially great as A66 pulls out

[@Schony747]

A favourite to many rail fans!

[@tomharrington1393]

Hey with NR103 can someone tell Pacific National to make all the NR’s look like that I like a lot better then the yellow also good shots and some interesting ones too well done

[@Schony747]

103 was a trial livery and I reckon it looked pretty good as well. Thanks for having a look.

[@youtubeviewer7030]

@32:08 looks like a modified Vlocity

[@spencerstrainvideos1745]

😂 yeah it does

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

Spencer’s Train Videos The 4000 class use a similar shell design to the Vlocity.

[@top40researcher31]

no more like a population ful of Orangutans LOL

[@robbruggink8937]

The Shutdown of the Line to Newcastle deserves a Royal Commission Investigation. This is not how Australia deals with their population.. This is distinctly a Grab for Real Estate by, Big Business Tycoons to get at a cheap priced Prime Real-Estate.I hope the ATO makes them pay for their efforts......It's Distasteful..

[@Schony747]

It's interesting. Even some of the fiercest opponents are now ok with the tram idea. There will always be people who disagree but many are pretty happy now. I was impressed when I saw the set-up.

I can see you're not a fan of our trains but that's ok. Everyone has different tastes.
