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 👍😀🎄🎅 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaLZZZtrZ7ynoK8si=Dck7Nyto7bt-Cj3O

Those bridges have very minimal clearance, What if in the future they wanted to double stack the freight 🤔❤️
@driver667 Жыл бұрын
They have no plans to double stack along this route but if they did, the older bridges would need rebuilding. 😊👍
@tazzer9 Жыл бұрын
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

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
