    Amazing Video/s of the Bairnsdale Line! Loving all the drivers views!! They have been very useful for updating my railway crossing map (with what equipment each crossing has)!!
    May I ask if you have any planned drivers views for the Swan Hill, Echuca or Maryborough Line? Those are 3 Lines I would really like to see coverage of!!

    Im throughly enjoying your videos of Victoria. Is it possible to put the track's recommended speed on display. Definitely better than 100 kph.

    • @driver667
      @driver667  Рік тому +1

      Track speeds vary in sections and for different types of trains. Some of the videos have the maximum speed for that train in the description but not on the video. The curves with restricted speeds are shown on the video. The maximum speed of the train in this video is 100kph. 👍😊

    • @NejMoss4873

    Looking at some old videos, the line through to Orbost was most picturesque, now a rail trail,probably a victim of the looney report

    • @driver667
      @driver667  5 місяців тому

      They go nowhere. There is enough track to allow the locomotive to run around the train and that's all. The line used to go through to Orbost but it was cut back years ago. 👍😀

    I wonder if you're aware of (the remains of) a significant piece of historic rollingstock that you pass in the first half of this video? I suspect that trees mask the view of it from the railway though, but can be seen from the adjacent road if you know when and where to look.
