I so much appreciate your sharing of the knowledge and skill to operate these machines! Here in Canada it is very difficult to gain access like this by video because of the fear of too many people knowing and perhaps gaining unauthorized acess to a locomotive! This was always my dream! Thank you so much for such an informative video! Gretings from Calgary!

Nice video! Do Australian trains use the Westinghouse style airbrake? Is there a legal limit on how engineers can be driving? In the USA, there is a 12 hour limit.

@Railwayman01 2 жыл бұрын

Most of the braking systems on newer locomotives down here are Wabtec brake control stands now, but there's a few older Locomotives here that STILL use the Westinghouse brake stands. And I think they're only allowed up to 12hrs maximum on the footplate here. Hope that answers your question...

@hoofie2002 3 жыл бұрын

Only suburban passenger areas are electrified in Australia. Country and interstate tracks are not.

@legass420 3 жыл бұрын

Adding to what Graeme said, it would simply be too inefficient to constantly swap out diesel and electric locos. Sydney's electric network is only so big when compared to the size of the rural/interstate network.

@ourjeffie 2 жыл бұрын

@@hoofie2002 That's not quite true. What about the intercity lines from Sydney to Kiama, Lithgow and Newcastle and from Brisbane to Rockhampton? And what about the numerous electrified freight-only lines from various Queensland ports to the Central Queensland coalfields?

The overhead is 1500VDC, which limits the maximum power to around 6000 HP or about the same as two diesel locos.

As a train passenger on Sydneys northern line. Freight trains cause delays to commuter passenger services. The state government needs to further separate freight traffic from commuter passenger traffic by building an extra two sets of tracks from Strathfield to Hornsby and Strathfield to Blacktown. So many bottle necks on the Sydney trains network that can be fixed.
