At first, I was simply enjoying this southbound journey on a bright and sunny day. But then I kinda got caught up with trainspotter spotting. 😄Particularly where the white Subaru would turn up. Best bit though was at 1:37:12 where some guy looked like he was about to Sumo Wrestle the loco.😳
Guess what I am feeling like myself once again, The Meds that I am taking are vary strong, No driving, Any way I enjoy your Video's of the different areas of Australia, 667 tell Putty Cat I said hello.
Since the 1980's there was a push toward more efficient use of assets for grain cartage. Quite a few were deemed to be not needed and others in certain locations were built up to become central receival points. Less shunting and more focus on block trains. As a result, a number sit disused along the lines. 👍😀

There's more to the railway than just the train. Glad you're enjoying the sights that come along. 🤣🤣 👍😀
Fantastic video Col! Appreciate the upload mate. 😉👍
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😀
Awesome video
Very happy to hear you enjoyed the ride 👍 😀
Can you do a video on a velocity train that shows the procedure for a driver before he starts on the journey ,as in train set up etc.
I will have a look at it and see if I can do that. 👍😀
Great video, BUT, I suggest it would be even better if it started with a short video showing the full train, together with some technical specs.
Thank you for the suggestion. Glad you enjoyed the ride 👍 😀
Really, really long
It is 👍😀

Meooww, good to hear you are much better. Glad you are enjoying the scenes around Australia. 🐈🐈👍😀
I guess there aren't any passenger services through Warracknabeal any more. The platform looks a bit dodgy. Thanks for the trip.🏳🌈
Only freight through there these days, or the occasional tour train 😀😀👍
Where is Hopetoun..?
Hopetoun is a branch line that runs off the main line to Adelaide at Murtoa roughly half way to Adelaide. 👍😀
@@driver667Oh I see, So it’s on the Standard gauge line to Adelaide for the Overland Train
@@vlinenclasstrains 👍😀
This American wants to know why most of the grain elevators are being isolated?

Why do so many people in Australia stop to watch the train go by?
This doesn't happen in other countries
@@robertocarlosknudsen3323 this one is a special train that doesn't run often over a line that normally does not see passenger trains. 👍😀
