Very happy to hear you enjoyed it. Willaura is as far as this one goes. It got to dark from there onwards. 👍😀

Again brought a smile to my face too see so many locals come out to all the levels crossing to wave at an unique event.

[@driver667]

Yes, they were very interested 👍😊

More serendipity. As the train makes way on this drizzly day, the song Singing in the Rain comes on the radio (number 62 on the Classic 100 Feel Good). 😄

[@driver667]

Good job 👍😀

Greetings from Sydney. How many miles has that old loco done?

[@driver667]

Greetings. Hmmmm, a lot of miles 🤣 it would be in the millions. 👍😀

[@norsehall309]

G'day, thanks for the video, is there a speed limit on that line because it's old and not used much?? Good to see they have retained there Railway Station's even though that are not in use anymore, cheers mate, keep safe, Neil 🤠.!

[@driver667]

The line needs a little TLC. Speed limit of 40kph due to infrequent use. Glad you enjoyed the ride 👍 😀

@@driver667 can this train go all the way to Hamilton or is this far as it goes ?

[@driver667]

@@Mediawatcher2023 it started in Melbourne and went all the way to Portland. The video series I have posted for the Portland line here starts from Portland and ran through Hamilton to Maroona, the junction station for the branch. Portland to Willaura is as far as I am posting as it got to dark from there. 👍😊
