Train action in Victoria, Australia for the years 1985, 1986 and 1987 on both broad and standard gauge.
I went to South Australia back in 1992, quaint town, a bit to spread out though...
Fantastic . . .
What a great story as a Sunshine Boy, attended Sunshine Primary School & Sunshine West High School from the 70's to the 80's & my parents still live in Sunshine & so do I, both my parents worked at Massey Ferguson & tell me the day MF closed all the church bells in Sunshine rung out & everyone knew something serious was up. I was in Primary school & even I remember that day.
6:26 42214 is getting a flogging in Notch 8 and half!
Gunzel porn!
Nearly as good as going back in time, great to see what these grand old stations used to look like 👍
Awesome video :)
I was drum major of a National Guard band from Texas that visited Adelaide in April of 1986. I did not have time to do much train watching and hope you have some video or pictures from that year
Matt there's plenty of broad gauge action on UA-cam from around this exact area and around that time. A quick search revealed quite a lot of vids. Perhaps not 1986 per se but 1988, a bit earlier too. Here's a couple: ua-cam.com/video/4qihWWz4aSs/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/J5CJmXqE_h4/v-deo.html Although a lot of these locos have been scrapped or donated to preservation an amazing amount are still in revenue service as of 2024 in SA, Victoria, NSW and QLD. Some might even make it to WA. A lot of the X class survive all the C class survive, many N class survive (all EMDs BTW). Quite a few Alcos still exist in revenue service particularly in NSW.
@@ThePaulv12 Thank you, Sir. I was 31 back then, and have forgotten most of the names of the folks I met in South Australia. I remember that one of the members of 10/24 battalion band of the Royal South Australia Regt was an employee of SAR. He told me about the 900 class ( I think those were Alco PA look-a-likes, sort of with English Electric prime movers) and they had just been retired. There was still broad gauge track everywhere at Mile End. I brough home several books, but have no idea where they went.
❤
Fantastic stuff! Man I absolutely loved watching this entire video and the professional way you filmed it back then!
Brilliant footage!
Thanks for the step back in time. Brings back many good memories from an old Port Augusta resident.
About the best diesel action video I've yet seen. From a time the locomotives gave visual and auditory output to match the horsepower input by such mighty machines. I love the display of smoke and "diesel music" that really gave you a feel of the power at work pulling against gravity and resistance. That was as time stunningly recorded!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏😀😀👍👍
Fantastic footage
Phenomenal capture. 👏👏👏👏👏😀👍
What a brilliant compilation video!!! The moments captured here are absolute gold👏👏👏👏👏😀👍 Shows how productive rail was in moving our wheat crops. Do we see anything like that today? Thanks for sharing.
34:14 That's quite a load for a 930 on this grade.
Absolutely excellent video ❤
Marvellous.
Awesome video thanks for sharing
Beautiful videography.. thanks for sharing...
Dont stop uploading these brilliant films!
Great video thanks for uploading
It’s the 22nd year of the 21st century. Why we even releasing anything on DVD and expecting the next generation who have never used DVDs to pick up ‘remembering’
Because there's no useable internet in most of regional Australia would be my guess. You city centric types have utterly, and I do mean utterly no idea. In 2024 in Maryborough central Vic with a population getting on for 10,000 you can't even load a Google homepage on your phone during the day. 2 mins outside of the town there's no phone or internet at all.
wonderful film.. good memories
great footage sir.. love seeing south australian railways footage fro ma era i missed
I can see the signal box at the Gawler railway station which was burned down in 2005
Make the Belair line standard gauge
Thanks!
Magnificent film, thankyou for sharing, am so sad to hear of John's passing, remember him well from when working in the Rail industry.
Tragic but he left a phenomenal legacy to remember for all-time. A life well lived.
For those now watching this video and others on this channel, John has passed away in September 2021
Thanks for letting everyone know, may he Rest in Peace.
And those memories are now lost sadly.
Hello John, I have previously purchased part 1 and wondering if you plan to release part 2 on DVD or blue ray.
50:05 was an interesting funky heavy duty locomotive lashup by AN, too!😁
😲😉😁👏 Struth what an incredible sight that would have been seeing a whopping 6 EL's & GL locomotives from AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL blasting by heading a Freight train, such a lucky filmer to be there at the right time to capture that footage during the 90's, the feeling of awe and excitement would of been such a buzz!😎👑🤙 I used to study & Research everthing that rail company did in the rail industry, as a young fan It was such a sad day for me when my favourite rail company AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL got brought out an superseded by another company, little did I know at the time it's what companies love doing the best is to buy out other companies to grow larger whenever they have a chance of funds to do so an if they can't buy a company outright they at least attempt to purchase a percentage stake in it!
Excellent, I needed that.
Loved this DVD. Do you plan to release a part 2 for this?

This is part 2. See the video title.
Nope, I’ve got the full version of this on DVD which is titled “Train Time SA Part 1 January to April 1995”
Thanks for sharing this footage - really great seeing
This is awesome- thanks for sharing!
My favorite memory of AusSteam 88 was the triple parallel run of 4472 (Flying Scotsman) and R's 761 and 707
Excellent!
is there part 2?
All I can say is “Bloody Awesome” I grew up watching these trains at Spencer & Bunbury Street and it’s brought back great memories. Thank you 👍
Great video John. Particularly like the labouring climb by Flying Scotsman at Heathcote Junction.
Here’s hoping the drivers of the rail motors liked the Detroit diesel music.
Isn't it special 😀😀😀👍
Classic Victorian EMD at its very best, the good old days when we actually had a railway! Semaphore signals and the occasional guards van, manned signal boxes, then mixed loco's from interstate with "through running", classic times. No graffiti idiots. Lovely focus on Clunes & Crewick too...Has anyone made a video on the signal boxes of that era? Thank you John.
I’m a big fan of your DVD’s, really loved Train Time SA, volume 1 January-April 1995. Any more releases planned for the future?
Great video, thanks for sharing.
Some great shots there of when we had a real rail system!
Great compilation John ! ( We worked together in Room 146 -- 68 '69, you and Stuart taught me some of the positions - Bill Burke C.C. ) Michael Carter
