Six locomotives on SCT Freight Train: Trains of South Australia

[@user-ashash1]

Awesome locations showcasing our beautiful country. Makes me want to jump in the car and do a road trip exploring the towns of north Adelaide and the painted grain silos. Some great finds especially with the six Diesels on the freighter. Very nice.

Youve done a beautiful job! Thank you for sharing all the details too. 👍👍👍

Love your videos, keep them coming, great work

Trains provide great economic progress to a nation.

The second one into this video, of the train going past Mount Lofty railway station, is the station we used to go to to get to Adelaide back in the 70's.. When the STA stopped passenger services, at one point a model train group were using station for a very large model train setup in the main building.. But it seems that it is gone, and the station is now used for holiday/tourist accommodation..

Like the extra information that you gave per scene..

Love your videos Matt!!

I think the SCT hat broken down and was rescued as the last locos were very silent.

@@MS_Trains thanks! I don’t have any Facebook or ARTC timetable things so I just eyeball it when I think a train might pass so I just guesses that it was broken down or something but now I know! Thanks again. Dude - Planetrainguy

Sort of reminds of the big BNSF grain and freight haulers up on the Montana highline.

How do I find out which trains go through Jamestown SA and what times? I loved watching this video. Thankyou!

Nice video, well done

[@johnmoore8016]

why six power units on the second train? Thanks for an outstanding video on trains. I love to watch them on my widescreen. the countryside is beautiful. (Mississippi gulf coast, USA)

[@johnmoore8016]

@@MS_Trains Thanks for the info.

[@billgerhard6803]

Are there any hobos in Australia? Looks like grain cars there don’t have any hiding places in them. Double stacks look the same as ours, though. Great videos!

[@alans9806]

Grain trains no - but where they run nobody would want to stow on them. Container trains as run between capital cities have plenty of hiding places and have the odd stowaway, especially during Covid. You'd cook on a 40 C day though

[@vsvnrg3263]

that was fun to watch. especially the lizard in the foreground at 7:29 to 7:41. is the grain part of the eyre lines closing down because of cumulative excessive maintenance costs or because of the monopoly holder's greed causing the grain companies to choose the truck option?

[@wombatwal20]

If a trucking company can transport grain at a cheaper rate per tonne then the transport company is not covering the road maintenance cost as is covered by rail based transport. And there lies the corruption of the transport costs.

[@wombatwal20]

Would suggest the empty grain at Tooligie would be the equivalent of 120 double trailer loads.

[@vsvnrg3263]

@@wombatwal20, yes.

[@vsvnrg3263]

@@MS_Trains, i recently told a story on another clip of how brookfield/arc shut the entire ng network of wa down under the excuse of a few local speed restrictions. this was commonly accepted as an intentional demonstration of arrogance towards cbh the grain handler. it happened about 8 years ago, i think. this bull shit is still not resolved and both sides of government have sat on their hands. your story sounds the same. you can't trust a large company with a monopoly. because these road trains damage the roads in wa as well as sa and other states, there should be a road damage tax. fuel tax from all road users shouldn't be used to cover these localized problems. i saw some figures somewhere that rail only gets 6% of the money back that rail companies paid in fuel tax. i'm preaching to the converted.

Prefer Home ( Australian ) videos to all others !

Where is Spencer junction??

[@dapto234]

So who is the dumbo polly who came up with the idea of stopping trains and putting 30,000 more trucks back on the rd.
