- A shorten compilation of 50 trains filmed around Adelaide Hills, Mallala & Murray Bridge in February 2011.
Full length video's of these trains can be found on my youtube page.
Pacific National:
Pacific National is Australia's largest private rail freight business. Operating in all states and the Northern Territory, Pacific National is a transport leader, delivering investment, innovation and growth in rail to provide the competitive answer for transport customers. Pacific National is fully owned by the Australian Stock Exchange listed entity Asciano.
QR National:
QR National is the largest rail freight haulage business in Australia by tonnes hauled transporting 260 million tonnes of coal and freight a year. It is the largest transporter of coal in Australia and the world's largest rail transporter of coal from mine to port for export markets.
SCT Logistics:
As Australia's largest private rail freight operator, SCT Logistics offers multi modal flexibility, together with the most efficient rail services in the country whichoffers intermodal services as well as maintaining its van freight handling concept, in addition to developing its own independent rail freight centres.
Genesee and Wyoming Australia:
Genesee and Wyoming Australia is an Australian rail freight operator based in Adelaide, South Australia. It is a 100 percent owned subsidiary of Genesee and Wyoming Inc based in the USA, and was formed in June 2006 to run the South Australian operations of the Australian Railroad Group (ARG) joint venture between Genesee and Wyoming Inc. and Wesfarmers following the dissolving of that joint venture (which also resulted in the Western Australian operations being acquired by QR National which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Queensland Rail).
GWA operates trains on broad (1600 mm), narrow (1067 mm) and standard (1435 mm) gauges throughout South Australia, along with standard gauge freight trains in the Northern Territory for Freightlink as well as into Victoria and southern New South Wales.
Major traffics include grain, steel, gypsum, and minerals over a 5,000 kilometre track network.
Indian Pacific:
Travelling between the Indian and Pacific oceans, this truly is one of the world's great train journeys.
Named after the two great oceans it joins and symbolised by the magnificent wedge-tailed eagle that so often soars above it, the mighty Indian Pacific traverses 4,352km (2,698 miles) between Perth, Adelaide and Sydney.
The Southern Sprit:
The Southern Spirit explores the sights and delights of Australia's southeast.
From Adelaide, Australia's wine capital and gateway to the Outback to the sophisticated southern city of Melbourne for a leisurely journey of up to 5 nights and 6 days to the final destination in sub-tropical Brisbane. Naturally if you'd prefer, the return route from Brisbane to Melbourne or Adelaide is equally impressive.
The Ghan:
The Ghan is a passenger train operating between Adelaide, Alice Springs, and Darwin on the Adelaide-Darwin railway in Australia. Operated by Great Southern Railway and with locomotives provided by Pacific National, the entire journey takes 48 hours to travel the 2,979 kilometres (1,852 miles) and around half that (24 hours) to the mid-point at Alice Springs. The service's name is an abbreviated version of its previous nickname The Afghan Express, unofficially bestowed on the "express passenger" service of the Commonwealth Railways in 1923, by one of its crews
The compilation is worth appreciation
Fantastic video, best regards from Spain to all Australian Rail fan.
This is wonderful. You have photographed this so very very good. Little Alfred - who is 2 years old - is besides himself, he just loves trains, and cannot get enough of this...:-) He usually prefers the pure steam trains videos, but this captured him totally, I guess it's the exciting way in which you shoot the trains; first the arrival and then following the train with all it's wagons...
Great to see Our Famous Trains in Action !!!…. 10/10 !!!…
Thanks for a very good video. the view was something else on wide screen. the country side was awesome. thanks
Best S.A vid i've seen. When the freights come into Adelaide from the north on standard guage, they have to give way to the Port Adelaide passenger service. They sometimes take up to fifteen minutes to clear the Hawker Street crossing. The engines are half a mile up the track with twenty freight cars remaining to cross. This has only happened since standard guage. No problem to me, I love the trains. And will be very sad when we lose broad guage.
The color schemes are getting better 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
A second crew travel in the coach when long distance is involved when they travel from Adelaide to Perth. (2,600km or 1600miles)
Great compulation !
Thanks fot sharring ,
Greets from Holland
DD ,Dutch traindriver.
Interesting line up of trains and well done on the video techniques.
You have the best videos!
oh how the times have changed...
Excellent compilation.
I saw a lot of ARG and Pacific National trains at Bomaderry RWS. F class, 81 class, L class and a few others. Very nice :)
awesome footage of Aussie trains, thanks for sharing!
***** ???
Nice video love those SGT trains thanks for letting me see the Southern spirit looks beautiful
Congratulations fantastic shots😊😊
Great video!!!...Makes me want to go to Australia right now!
A nice compilation of trains.
I am from the USA, and I find Australian trains very interesting. I see like the container trains in this video. I see a lot of the same one when I go out to watch trains.
Cool collection of trains
15 estupendos minutos. Muchas gracias.
I love watching trains!
Awesome compilation!! Love the sound of big scary diesl engines and look of old industrial trains =)
Where were these recorded?
Great video !
Great video!! I'll have to come to this spot when I come up ffrom Vic! Thanks for sharing
amazing you filmed all these trains in sth aus did not think they had that many good show
When travelling to and from Perth, crew cars are added with another crew onboard and rotate during the journey.
Nice movie ! Beautiful places. I'd like to be there.
Is the passenger car for crew exchanges or for some-sort of limited long-distance service?
I love the G&W locos. We see the mix of nice orange Portland and Western (A G&W road name) livery and some nasty looking patches here in Portland, Oregon too, We have one here that looks like it was dug from a burning salvage yard but it still goes.
Excellent.
That Mt. Lofty looks like a beatutiful spot. I'd like to spend a few days there.
great video
Makes sense, thanks.
...very nice video.....
very cool!
guess there isn't really any mixed or "manifest" freight trains over there? locals working various industries along branch lines? seems any video I find is only intermodal, or bulk commodity
many interesting trains
Why didn't you film the steam ranger?
It only snows in the Snowy Mountains in Northern Victoria
no. There is regular snow in tasmanis and NSW too, and ACT. Even WA gets snow pretty much every year ona mountain, and SA gets snow occasionally. And no doubt a bit in queensland too.
7:43 what paint scheme is that? I’ve seen it over here in America. Also why is the aspect ratio so weird?
Its Genesee & Wyoming, headquartered in Darien, CT, and they have an Australian counterpart, One Rail Australia founded by themselves, they own shortlines and class IIs along America
Wasn't running while I was in South Australia
First time seeing cars on a train
Is the Southern Spirit a new trip? I've been on The Ghan, and I know about The Overland and The Indian Pacific, but has GSR made another route?
Nice!
Great video :-) LIKE!
nice!!!
Nice Leslie horn at 11:11
Fab-u-luss!
Some interesting looking locos there. has the second unit @ 7:55 had the cab plated over? Mt. Lofty looks a very picturescque station.
Well done. Pity you do not use the Annotations feature in Video Manager to tell us the time and place and other information about each of these trains. (I tend to go over-board with my comments.)
Because of the rugged terrain in the Adelaide Hills & long distances to interesting locations there are many visuals that I have wanted to see that you have put into this video.
Fascinating to see 4 locomotives being used to hawl loads through the steeper and winding sections of track.
I looks like you have some Broad Gauge freight trains in the Barossa Valley - Penrice line. Now since ceased operation because of the closure of the factory at Port Adelaide and not need for the limestone.
I'm the same as you. Would love to tour the USA and photograph the railroads over their but just need to win the lottery first.
what kind of engine is at 3:30?
@cooky2304 What do white markers do?
A lot of the freight trains had a single passenger car right behind the locomotives. Is this for crew members, or some other purpose?
could be for either, could be for crew members, could be for passengers
they're called crew cabs and yes they are for the crew. not privatised passenger coaches
Why do so many of the freight trains have a single coach behind the locomotives? Mixed train? Or, is it where a replacement crew rides? Don't ever see such an arrangement here in the states.
Shifting Cargo thats Life.
Funny how no one mentions the passenger coach behind the locos. Guess what that's for folks ???
Are the passenger trains owned by the government, or are the run by businesses? Here in the US, Amtrak is owned by the government.
7:02 NR 85 sounded like a XR class in victoria
Is that snow at 10:17? I live in Australia and I've only seen snow in the Snowy Mountains in NSW
nah, just rain. Lol this is rural SA, never get close to snow there.
Why did the pn loco @147 have a passenger carriage
Fully capturing the passenger trains would've wise
If the southern spirit NR travels in the eastern and Southern States then what is it doing in Western Australia? 😮
Marty Prux When the Southern Spirit passenger train is not running, the locos are used on the freight services.
K Line is in USA too!
Hmm cool!
Aiden Teszke A
Was it snowing @ 10:21? It snows in Australia?
Nope, that was just rain. There is a lot of snow in Australia, but never in the location that clip was filmed.
Na the road runs alongside the line, truck had just come out of a vineyard.
@nathanrjf
That is why this video is a Compilation.
20sec clips of all the trains I saw that week.
My other videos are full length.
9:47 the pacific national train had no logo
Did someone drop the 1950's on their rail system? why do they have so many old trains?
Well there was something a a boom with private haulage and power leasing companies, and those old locomotives sill worked pretty well so companies like CRL, GWA and CFCL snapped them up.
Plus the CL class locos in this video were built in the 70s. They look like they're from the 50s because of the EMD bulldog nose.
Because awesome!!
(#^∀^#)長い貨物列車は大迫力ですね
..would've been wise
So slow compared to European trains.
+Joseph Dunn These sound better than European trains.
ShmotzGaming Debatable
Joseph Dunn I haven't heard any good sounding European trains that didn't consist of export model American locomotives.
thats because europe is ahead of australia in everything by 20 odd years!
Australia is as big as the whole of Europe. We have large trains travelling long distances. Speed is not the most important criteria. Range is.

Boring
Da same locomotive again n again!
this aint boring. this is some of the best
then piss off
Jed Nagel why should I? Lol
because obviously you don't like the video.
Jed Nagel Grow up this is UA-cam if things suck we speak about it. it's called 'opinion' & 'freedom of speech'.
