One of 4 stations I worked at as a JSA in 65/66;being ,Geelong,Camperdown,Timboon,Allansford.I then worked at Penshurst then Hamilton before leaving in august 66 to join the loco at mile end in S.A.This is a beautiful part of the line specially thru the stoney rises.

Thank you for sharing your view of the world, as passengers we only get a "side view" lol. My brother in-law drives and teaches drivers on the N Class Loco!! Have you done Southern Cross to Bairnsdale video? N Class is the first and last at Bairnsdale Station as Vline are cautious leaving the VLocity is case of vandalism :)

I have done Traralgon to Southern Cross in an N class. The link is below. I have a Bairnsdale to Southern Cross video that needs to be edited then uploaded. Glad you enjoy the videos 👍😀 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gdmohJBold-Xgas.htmlsi=L0BhToqWNVPsSqhM

Looks like a very pretty train line. I'm guessing one of the magpies at 5:23 was a fraction slow taking off.

@driver667 9 ай бұрын

He was slow but lucky. He almost got hit but managed to miss the loco, just. Glad you enjoyed the video 👍 😀

Enjoying travelling with you. I'm glad you noted where the old stations were located as there is no trace of them now.

@driver667 9 ай бұрын

If you didn't know they were there, you could easily zip right past a lot of them and not even realise. Glad you enjoyed it 👍 🙂

I always wondered what the deal was with the carriages strewn off the side of the tracks at 14:50

@driver667 9 ай бұрын

A derailment many years ago. It was not worth recovering those wagons. 👍🙂

@mrrol5212 9 ай бұрын

is that an old station at pirron yallock? Nothing like a good old country train ride. So the train we are watching here, how long will it be in service for and what happens to such a train when it is put out to pasture...does it become a goods train? Bundy wasn't on special today so just a Carlton Draught, but cheers to you for brightening our days/or nights up!

@driver667 9 ай бұрын

That building is the old station. It is heritage listed. This train is to be changed to a VLocity some time next year. This locomotive will eventually see service hauling freight trains. 👍🙂
