  • We have a look at the locomotive hauled Swan Hill train. This train runs a return service twice daily over the 345km long route in the North of Victoria, Australia. It is hauled by an N class diesel locomotive, a GM product built in Victoria in the early 1980's.

    the cool thing about this train is if I leave home (echuca) on the first train out, I can get to swan hill AND back to bendigo before the train back to echuca arrives in bendigo. At least until the timetable changes that is

      @@driver667 you had N12 with two BZNs and VN3 with BDN and former ACZ on it as well for the other train you hauled with your locomotive!
      And last glimpse of other carriage with older mk3 livery looked and suspected to be VN14 which I fondly refer to the “ Hamburger” set because of that red stripe on it!

    I hope the Swan Hill line still uses loco-hauled trains for a while yet. With the Warrnambool line looking like it's soon going to be using Vlocity services, SW will be the only line still to have all loco-hauled trains. It'll be sad when the time comes where there are no more and every line has only Vlocities. Always love your videos. Please do one for the Warrny line too while it still has N classes if you can.

    I’m surprised the yard in Swan Hill hasn’t been ripped up yet, unlike Mildura which was ripped up for nothing.
    And I’d definitely wouldn’t like it if either VLos or a newly designed diesel multiple unit were introduced to Swan Hill services, cos that will be hell to ride on.
    I’d rather a better long distance train (new modern locomotives and carriages) than a glorified commuter train thank you very much!
