Massive Double Stacked Freight Trains: Pacific National Trains

Plenty of people out there dislike Pacific National Trains due to the NR class locomotive. However, others enjoy watching their trains go past to see the different freight such as Steel, Intermodal Containers, Vans & more interesting loads compare to what is seen on other trains. This video features a large variety of different Pacific National Trains from few months of 2018, which include the appearance of Ghan NRs, AN's, G's (In both Freight Australia & Pacific National) and 81s.

02:10 - Pacific National Freight 5AM5 powers through Mitcham with NR16/G530/NR17 on the 30th of October 2018 with freight bound for Melbourne.

[@charliepearson1174]

Great video

[@billrichardson6389]

G'Day Matt, another great video as always, I noticed at the 1:30 mark, there was a double stacked wagon which was not a well wagon, I don't think I have seen one like that before, the bottom container looked to be lower than the usual containers. Just an observation....

[@justinbourget1560]

Hello bill,if you watch the container train in the USA or here in Canada for me,it’s normal,you can search on KZbin up intermodal and the job is done 🙂

".....due to the locomotives that pull there trains....." Pull >their< trains.

Does Australia have two diffrent gauge railroad system? thanks for a very good wideo.

[@bargearse4141]

3 actually. Narrow, Standard and Broad Gauges are in Australia

[@Crosshead1]

Barge Arse to be more precise, 5ft 3in, 4ft 8.5in and 3ft 6in. All interstate lines are 4ft 8.5in.

[@AussieGunzel]

4 gauges, 2 foot gauge for northern QLD sugar cane trains 3 foot 6 inch for QLD and WA 4 foot 8 and a half inches for the mainline and 5 foot 2 inches for Victoria.

[@rodneymcgiveron]

@@MS_Trains And Tasmania is all narrow guage 3' 6"....The whole network because we can't link up with anybody else being the island State ..

[@rodneymcgiveron]

@@MS_Trains The island State of Tasmania is also 3'6" .. Seeing as we don't link with anybody else there is no point switching to standard gauge..

[@electric7487]

Do you guys in Australia get your crossing bells from the States? Because a lot of them sound remarkably familiar to what we have here in the US.

[@matthewmassarotti2596]

Question does anybody know when the double stack starts & finishes I know it can't run in Victoria because of low bridges. So does anybody know?

[@matthewmassarotti2596]

What about NSW?

[@matthewmassarotti2596]

@@MS_Trains nw thx for the info m&s

[@Crosshead1]

Basically, anywhere North of Adelaide to Darwin, West to Perth and East to Parkes. The Melbourne to Brisbane inland railway, currently being constructed, will link Melbourne and Brisbane, via Parkes, leaving Sydney as the only mainland capital without direct double-stacking access.

[@jimcrawford5039]

There won’t be double stacking from Sydney for many years to come, due to many tunnels and low bridges.

Hi all, I'm doing a school project on the Australian freight trains system. I was wondering as to where I can find the routes for all Pacific National trains? Many thanks in advance.

You are soooo lucky I always wanted to do a project about Pacific national
