Fantastic videos of the good old days. Also great to see several of the streamliners of course still around even today and several even running quite often.

Thanks so much for your postings. So much once commonplace but now historic. The kangaroos at 6:00 will be a surprise to many so close to Melbourne then. Although a family friend around that area had her Corolla wrecked by hitting one at dusk. Fortunately no serious injury to her.

good stuff as we expect from you. 3:24, the long island coil train. i couldn't see any coils. i thought the coils were reloaded from sg on to bg wagons at dynon. has this always been done at totty?

This train was an empty that came from Tottenham yard , loaded wagons were bogie exchanged at Dynon.

@@vsvnrg3263 before standard gauge to Adelaide trains ran between Long Island and Adelaide without bogie exchange directly on broad guage. The standard gauge meant the transhipment delay and cost was needed whereas previously it did not . Steel to NSW needed bogie exchange. The Adelaide steel was a major regular traffic that standard gauge made worse. No reachstacker needed for Adelaide steel back before standard gauge just direct.

I still dont know why so many V/Line passenger trains had a "freight" wagon attached. Can you please enlighten me thanks.

Are you thinking of the power van?
@littleorangeclock4 жыл бұрын
The wagon is a 'PH' type power van, used to provide power for lighting and air-conditioning for the carriages. Even though the N class locos have generators to do this themselves, these power vans are still often used when the loco generators fail.
@lachlantrainvideos4 жыл бұрын
spotmatic#1 and most carriage sets have generators but these can be unreliable
@tyrionlannister67694 жыл бұрын
Power for the carriages were from either axle driven generators or diesel generator sets (as in N Car sets) slung under the carriage. The dedicated Guard's Van (CP Class) was no longer included in the consist because the N Car sets had a Guard's Area; but this area didn't have much room on board to carry the items commonly seen on country services e.g. Packages, Parcels & Bicycles, Motor cycles, etc. Hence the additional louvred van.

Why do they use two locos to haul 5 coaches and a baggage car?
@johnphillips5924 жыл бұрын
Sometimes they are balancing moves and the second loco is shut down .
