Seen that apex quarry train quite abit over the years,filmed it twice near Hughsdale station and often seen it passing through Richmond station,as lve waited for my Frankston train

[@driver667]

The apex has been running for many years. Drove it earlier in my career. 👍😀

[@MonikerfkYT]

Cheers for the video again Col. Did you manage to film any SG N class while they were still on Albury duties?

[@driver667]

I do have one. The video is not as good quality as the ones I do now but I will put it up in the future. 👍😀

[@WayneKline]

Another great video sir, well done. Was surpised to see the line to Melbourne via Upfield, still used? Also the lines being layed just south of Craigieburn.

[@driver667]

Thank you. 😊 The work going on next to Somerton Loop is a new freight yard for the double stacks that are going to run on the inland rail. The line via Upfield is actually closed between Somerton and Upfield. There have been rumours for quite a while that it will eventually see trains again but who knows 🤔 Glad you enjoyed the ride 👍 😀

Yes.😔

Nice video mate, wonder what is happening with all the works on the yard at Somerton, are they re-doing it all or just taking it out pretty much?

[@driver667]

They are building a new terminal for freight. Very happy you enjoyed the ride 👍 😀

@@driver667 ahh that's good that they are doing that then, will be interesting to see it come along and get the new tracks installed. Along with all that other work they are doing at Beveridge area too

@@G516R700 yes. Nice to see tracks going in instead of out.🤣👍😀

@@driver667 Yes for sure mate, will be interesting to see how many they put in and when it all comes together again, are they both BG & SG tracks?

@@G516R700 I haven't seen the plans. I just know that the yard is coming. 👍😀

I bet this is the main line.

It is the main standard gauge line from Sydney. 👍😀

I was going say I doubt to see a velocity on the seymour line. Too many smelly old sprinters

They do run to Seymour on the broad gauge at times 👍😀
