    Great video
    My wife and myself always enjoy your videos.
    There are so many trips we can do that are in our "backyard "
    We have been on The Ghan but these trips look more exciting and affordable.

    I can remember catching a Harris train to Warrigal when the line was electrified to Moe. There was even a 10 car Harris train for the 1963 Royal visit! L Class locos that carried coal and briquettes were the main reason the line was electrified. Looks like preparations are being made to electrify to Warrigal again in the long term!

    Thanks for posting this. Australia on the whole needs better rail and it seems to me that Victoria is moving in a good direction. It may be slow, but I believe it is doing better than other states. Here in SA, we don't even have any country passenger rail worth speaking of.
    That said, WA looks good for the future.

    can i just ask im a bit confused... i know your not like an engineer but the track at bunyip at the tralagon end are you expecting that the north track will swerve into the platform cause from that vision it look like the north track will need to make a bit of a bend to accomenate that new points... hope that make sense??

    • @driver667
      @driver667  7 місяців тому +1

      Yes, the north track will bend around to run into the platform. The bend will easily accommodate the speed of the train that has reduced to negotiate the diverge at the points. This allows the south track to be straight enough to allow 160kph for express moves as the south track is the fast track. 👍😀
