RARE INDIAN PACIFIC VIA ADELAIDE HILLS, OVERNIGHT OVERLAND & GREAT SOUTHERN TRAIN

Passenger Rail in South Australia is limited to Suburban Metro Trains, The Overland to Melbourne and Luxury Interstate Passenger Trains by Journey Beyond Rail, with the latter, for the most part of the year, operating no Luxury services via the Adelaide Hills line.
Across the period of about a month, the Adelaide Hills line saw a rare amount of Journey Beyond Rail running with the Indian Pacific Diverted via the Hills, Great Southern in operation for the Summer and The Overland running off schedule empty into Adelaide during the morning, as it once did for many decades during the days of night running for the service.

With my favorite Australian loco, the NR, so ubiquitous, and the beautiful scenery, I think you've convinced me that when I move to OZ, it will be to the Adelaide hills. Thanks.

If you like the NR class, the Adelaide Hills is the place to be for trains, and as you said, the scenery is magnificent! All year round, there's something to do in the Adelaide Hills, from wineries to fruit picking; we've even got a chocolate factory. I highly recommend the move, mate! Matt - M&S Trains

I'm retired and would be a drain on your health care system, so, the government doesn't want me. We looked into it a couple of decades ago, and they made it tough for us in our 50's. Videos will have to do, I think, so please, keep them coming! @@MS_Trains

Great video! Your drone footage certainly adds to your coverage! Just of note, Goulburn is 225 kms by rail from Sydney, with the 225 km peg being at the end of Platform 2.

Great video, new subscriber happy new year to you and your loved ones and I enjoy your channel

[@MS_Trains]

Thanks, mate! Welcome and happy new year to you also. Glad to hear you're enjoying our content. I'm assuming you're from California, given your username? Plenty of great trains over that part of the world! Matt - M&S Trains

@MSTrains1 yes thanks, and I'll stayed connected with you have a wonderful day

it took me a while to find it but eventually i found the incident you mention at 0:42 and it was worth it. the back end of a b-double is hanging off the side of a bridge. i hope they rebuild the railing so it can never ever happen again. what a shit rail service this country has. a road train buggers up the line west of broken hill and a b-double nearly drops onto rail tracks in footscray. i ordered some stuff on-line that has to cross the continent to get here. no wonder its bloody late.

You've nailed it mate. Matt - M&S Trains
