      I was just thinking that as I watched it as well. Makes the NG track look like a check rail.

      You should see the points beyond Robbs Jetty, where the standard gauge and narrow gauge lines split. The narrow gauge track looks like it hasn't seen any rail traffic since Jesus went to kindergarten.

    55:10 Why is there a Narrow Gauge connection to the Armadale line from Kenwick? Is this used for emergencies?

    • @driver667
      @driver667  6 місяців тому

      I'm not an expert on WA but I would think it was for NG freight access to Forrestfield yard from down south. Someone else here may be able to build on that. 👍😀

      @@driver667 just thinking, you could possibly be right.
      This made me curious as this connects to the Metropolitan Train line where all the electric trains run.
      Wondering now if this is a throw back from the past that has been kept when Freight trains used to run on the Armadale line a long time ago…

      There used to be goods trains on it, e.g. coal from Collie to the East Perth Power Station. It hasn't been used for many years because no freight trains need to share the electrified part of the network nowadays.

    The dual gauge is interesting. I wonder if there are any lines in Australia which are tripled, narrow, standard and broad gauge? It's theoretically do-able I guess. I'm sure there would be engineering challenges, especially at junctions and points!

    • @driver667

      Peterborough, South Australia is such a place. Triple gauge is still available to see in the old loco depot which is now a museum. Complicated trackage for sure. 👍😀

    WA leases /sold all freight lines to other operaters, queensland rail has a huge slice Our Gov controls the metro network and the line to bunbury sorta. , there are 3 main gauges in Oz ,3'6. standard 4'8 and a 1/2 and 5'3 in victoria, broad gauge was brunels 7'6 it was removed completey in england in 1872, it still exists tho.

      WA leases the operation of the freight lines to one company, Arc Infrastructure. Arc then decides who runs trains on the network. The network still belongs to the State. Arc is responsible for maintenance, but apparently has no obligation to maintain lines on which no trains are currently run. So these have fallen into disrepair.
