27:00, that malcolm moore grader was probably made in its port melbourne factory that was in williamstown road near bridge street. a lot of my friends got apprenticeships there.

The tragedy of the Southern Aurora crash was due to the train driver having a heart attack and dying a good 6 miles before the accident site and the train continuing down the track out of control until it hit a freight train that was due to move in to a passing loop (obviously there’s more technical details online ).

thanks for the update ... I didn't know that as I always thought that the train driver had to keep their hand on a lever or do something every minute or so or the train would automatically come to a stop - maybe I seen that on TV !

@@urbanaerialexplorer1885 I’m no train expert. And I know these days (like you said) there’s a dead man’s handle. But I’m not sure what existed back in the 1960’s.

But back then???
