I like Australian trains because they still use old emd bulldogs (Australian f units) and they have a lot of five chime horns that sound awesome along with retro looking crossing lights and don't forget the rs5ts
Yeah the streamliners still get use. A66 is still rolling around on a regular rostered passenger run and is the oldest bulldog in rogualr rostered public passenger service in the world.
Caroline Liu, yes to an extent on USA railroads, but depending on territory a lot of it is bi-directional so any direction can me operated. Watching Australia's was interesting, especially the speed the run.
If I ever make it down from the USA to Australia, it's gonna be hard not to go out and watch some trains while there in the middle of tourist stuff! Neat stuff down there.
Wow these locos have very similar features to the ones here in the U.S. I wish we lived closer to trains. But I can still hear them far away from where we live.
Love Australian trains despite being an American person,(still love my American trains though) I like how Aussie trains use both their own and American equipment, like horns, locos, and by the looks of it, even bogies for rail cars, also, what is the average amount of power output on those widecabs?(I don't know what to call them)
+Norfolk Southern Railfan Here's a link to vicsig here in Melbourne. This will help you with Victorian locos at least. www.vicsig.net. Then look up the locomotive section under trains.
It's sad that there isn't many different types of all these great looking trains in the part of Sydney I live in. I would go to the park and watch all the trains come by and there were only t and b classes and the occasional Class 81
+Dom Quartuccio The variety in Victoria is not that great either. NSW is where all the action is! I still enjoy a day visit to Dry Creek. There's plenty of variety there.
Nice video! Which states are these trains in. I know all of the states of Australia. Greetings from the USA. A lot of people ask me what is so special about the trains I watch, to which I reply , nothing, I just like trains. I see a lot of the same containers on trains.
+SantaFe19484 Exactly. I just like trains as well. Just as some like cars, boats whatever. The trains here are featured from Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia.
I have a feeling the trains in America ae longer than ours. The long intermodals that cross the country are around 1500 metres over and in the US around 2000 metres. My sister lives in Germany and I'm a fan of the DB system.
Iron ore trains here are the longest and heaviest in the world. 100,000 tonnes has been run in WA.8.5km long.Sydney people don't know what a big train is.
those grain trains are so short, in America you could have a grain train with 2 engines pulling 2 in the middle and 2 DPU's pushing at the back of a mile and a half long grain train
Over here it depends on the grain storage facilities and how much room there is to store a train. Many of the crossing loops in Victoria wouldn't even be long enough to hold a train the length you are talking about.
+mike ggg They do double stack between Adelaide and Perth and Adelaide and Darwin as it is basically desert. Everywhere else you have bridges and other obstacles which prevent double stacking due to height. Our trains are 1500 metres in length which helps as well.
Ah - we had that problem here as well - the tracks were in many cases lowered, and tunnels daylighted so that the double stacks could keep moving. Thanks for the info!
Do you use a website or app to track them or just go out and wait? I hear you reading out the numbers and knowing the purpose? Is that all just time studying them? Sorry newb here hah

It's everywhere and doesn't always get cleaned up in a hurry either. SSR has actually painted broad gauge grain cars in art to stop the constant graffiti
along with B61, B76, B80, S303, S313, GM10, GM27 which are all curently in use across Victoria on variuos freights with various operators. A66 is a regular runner with V/Line as well.
6:31; Gotta love how similar the topography of Victoria and SA is to California.
I'll take your word for it. I can certainly see similarities around San Jose area. Thanks for looking.

Sp8937 Productions and they are very similar to North American trains
Australia and North America (United States and Canada) have alot in common about trains.
Yeah that really true
Umm, visit Thirroul or anywhere in Illawarra in NSW Australia and you will see most of Oscars, tangaras, but rarely any other type like the XST
Yep, 100 year old wooden sleepers still on most lines. And no train services that run anywhere near 200km's.
that is good to know

We do have the variety we just don't have the frequency that you lot have in the US.
Lovely coverage! I would love to visit this location someday!!
We are pretty lucky in OZ. We don't have the frequency but have some great locations.
@@Schony747Thanks for such awesome uploads!! I would be very happy to accompany you for a photography or videography session around Melbourne!!
Some of these machines are quite bizarre and unique, very nice!
Yes indeed. Australia has an eclectic range of locos thsts for sure. Thanks for having a look.
0:42 That sounds like a P5
Yes indeed.
Wow these locos have very similar features to the ones here in the U.S.
I wish we lived closer to trains. But I can still hear them far away from where we live.
SUCH VERY COOL TRAINS.
great camera work, love the way the tracks look at the very start of the vid
Hopefully will have a bit of time in September when we come to the Gold Coast to film some railway bits
The new tram is impressive as well. It's worth a look.
Melbourne is were there all at hundreds of them
Nice work, that T class was so cute!
Australian Freight Trains Thanks. I've put a couple of others together as well which I will upload in time. I've als produced one from the UK.
Schony747 Awesome, I look forward to them.
good filming I like it.
Thanks for having look 😀😀
Brilliant shots !
Cool train a lot of work
Lots of variety as well. Thanks

We are very lucky in Victoria. I don't know how these antiques have lasted so long on the mainline but it's still enjoyable to watch.
Another great video, Schony! Riverina.
Thanks Jim. Happy 2019 to you.
Great Work, We don't get a lot of this in South Australia
+Dom Quartuccio The variety in Victoria is not that great either. NSW is where all the action is! I still enjoy a day visit to Dry Creek. There's plenty of variety there.
+Schony747 Have to agree there, The NSW's are having all the fun with out GMs and S classes, Dry Creek is a good place to spot :)
At least you guys get double stacks. I live in Sydney and have never seen one IRL
Lol that conversation with lady in the 3-rd last clip
+TransportLover 108 Funny wasn't it. She just wandered over and wanted to have a chat. Obviously our hobby is somewhat interesting to some!

Me to i know all the Aussie states. And dont forget. AUSSIE TRAINS ARE THE BEST😆
Awesome

Qube paper train when it used to run
Nice video are freight train of Australian longer as in America?
Best greetings from Germany!!!
I have a feeling the trains in America ae longer than ours. The long intermodals that cross the country are around 1500 metres over and in the US around 2000 metres. My sister lives in Germany and I'm a fan of the DB system.
Iron ore trains here are the longest and heaviest in the world. 100,000 tonnes has been run in WA.8.5km long.Sydney people don't know what a big train is.
Intermodals to Perth are 1600m limited by siding length.
those grain trains are so short, in America you could have a grain train with 2 engines pulling 2 in the middle and 2 DPU's pushing at the back of a mile and a half long grain train
Over here it depends on the grain storage facilities and how much room there is to store a train. Many of the crossing loops in Victoria wouldn't even be long enough to hold a train the length you are talking about.
Why don't Aussie trains double-stack their containers? Here in the US that has lead to greater efficiency and thus the survival of our lines.

Schony747, who cares if it's longer. It's just wasting container holder cars and time.
0:43 that horn aint sound so bad
Names of locations would have great to this video
Future setups will have names and locations.
0:21 that train looks like a worm to be honest. look at the front part of the train and you'll see
Certainly a different persepctive. I've looked back on the video and can see why you draw the comparison.
25:18 Australian version of EMD SD40
Yea indeed. Thanks for having a look.
Nice shots
Thanks for looking 😃😃😃
Why are these trains driving on the right?
Bi Directional track
@@Schony747 I see.
Thanks!
10:58 could anyone tell what locomotive that is?
Much help would be nice
VL on the from leading an EL.

Schony747 ah thank you my friend!
Do you use a website or app to track them or just go out and wait?
I hear you reading out the numbers and knowing the purpose? Is that all just time studying them?

@@Schony747 very cool, thanks a bunch!
Fletcher International do not operate their train - it's contracted out to Southern Shorthaul Railroad for staffing and crews
Thanks. I was aware of that but made an error in the description. It's fixed.
Great video and subscribe from the UK
Excellent. Thanks for the sub. I'm also a big fan of the British Rail scene as well.
I've been studying diy railroad layouts and discovered a fantastic website at Jareks Hobby Club (google it if you're interested)
Same i like british rail too
Didn’t realise Australia has such a graffiti problem. Sad when you compare to the natural landscape.
It's everywhere and doesn't always get cleaned up in a hurry either. SSR has actually painted broad gauge grain cars in art to stop the constant graffiti
Also variety pack sounds like a pack from the shop
6:43 WAIT, WAS THAT AN OLD EMD LOCOMOTIVE IN MODERN USE!!?!!?!!?!!?!!?!!?!!?!!? That’s the first time I’ve seen one of these in modern use
along with B61, B76, B80, S303, S313, GM10, GM27 which are all curently in use across Victoria on variuos freights with various operators. A66 is a regular runner with V/Line as well.
Yeah I know it’s awesome!!!
Does anyone know where 7:46 is?
North Melbourne Station Flyover.
And there was metro trains freight train that use to haul IEV102.
27:49 i go there for holiday.
JEDA IKLAN TPI
where the f**k are the locations of the trains......a bit of information would be great
Kevin Beresford no need for the profanity mate
If you asked nicely you might be told.
You dont need to swear.
They are covered in graffiti
Yes it's a bit of a problem over in Australia
@@Schony747 I know because I’ve done about 500 art pieces on trains.
Awesome
Great thanks 😀😀
