[@driver667]

Thank you. I'll keep making them. Glad you enjoy them 👍 😀

[@debshipard1664]

spent many hours watching trains go through Murtoa from my Grandparents porch. Then my kids used to haunt the Murtoa station when we visited Grandma. She passed on in 2019 at 103 years . Lived at home in Murtoa until she was 97. Thanks for sharing

[@driver667]

She lived a good innings. Glad you enjoyed the video. More coming in the future. 👍😊

[@RichardFelstead1949]

Thanks for sharing.I have not been on this line at all.Some interesting and useless fact.There is a Felstead Street in Horsham namned after my great uncle.

[@driver667]

Your great uncle is famous. 😀 Glad you enjoyed the ride 👍😊

[@MarkyDav]

Horsham has such a long and impressively unused platform! It's interesting the signs look like they were updated on the unused platform area. I wish one-day the V/Line passenger service could return, but I know SG makes it very hard.

[@driver667]

I don't know if we will see a vline service to Horsham. We will see what the future holds 👍😀

I am very happy to hear you enjoy the videos. All the best 👍 😀😊

[@rob7147]

Haven’t driven there for nearly 20 years but it amazes me how my pea brain still remembers it all. Maybe sone day when I discover girls I’ll stop watching bloody cab rides at 2am. Mmmmm the deisel fumes, the 26L noises, the flow gauge!! I need a hobby 😉

[@driver667]

🤣🤣 Glad you are enjoying the cab rides, even at 2am. 😀😀👍

[@beasts4life_99]

Eventhough only a short portion of the platform at horsham is still in use they still updated the platform signs on the closed section

[@driver667]

I guess people can still see them as they roll through the platform 😀👍😊

[@geoff825]

Thank you for yet another interesting journey. Your regular videos are very much appreciated! What are the two short poles on the LHS beside the track @0:05? Are they sensors or simply connectors? Cheers.

[@driver667]

They are junction boxes for the wires running to the tracks for track circuits. Glad you enjoyed the ride 👍 😀

That loco must be very powerful. It seems to get up to speed quickly. Interesting to see that most of the old wooden sleepers are gone. I imagine the steel reinforced concrete will last for decades.

[@driver667]

Concrete sleepers will last much longer than the wood sleepers. 👍😀

Why is there no Regiknal passenger service to Kaniva? Its the last town before the border and people live there.

[@driver667]

That's a question for the politicians. I just drive the trains 😀👍

Is Hopetoun line still in use? If it is do a cab view in a grain train on it

[@lachlanbaker2031]

Yes and believe he recorded footage of the entire line, on this same train

[@tomhenry6440]

On Apple Maps, It shows that the line is closed idk why it's like that

[@driver667]

Yes the Hopetoun line is open and as pointed out, yes I have videoed the whole line. It will be posted in the future 👍 😊

[@edwardarnott3471]

Stabiliser working overtime in that section.......

[@driver667]

Ha ha, it certainly was 👍😀

[@Brakeff]

I do enjoy your videos however, they would be even better with some "in-cab" footage 🙂

[@driver667]

I don't show in cab on vline due to security concerns. Maybe on a heritage train one day. See how it goes. Glad you enjoy them 👍 😀

[@clayton4115]

Any reason you stopped far from the platform at Horsham?

[@driver667]

Yes, the length of the train and the first few cars were power van and baggage cars. Passengers were alighting from toward the rear of the train 👍😀
