- Adventurer and cameraman Geoff Mackley travelling by LIV (Light Inspection Vehicle) from Cook to Adelaide. Awesome way to see a vast desolate and beautiful land Thanks heaps to Australian National Rail
Its 2023 and i am still mesmerised by that mechanism
Relatable
Same bro!
Me too
Yes, I've seen these vehicles in Canada, we call them hirails. Sure beats the noisy and rough riding speeder cars rail crews used in days gone by. When following the train, if the hirail had a manual transmission you could hitch on to the last car, put the transmission in neutral, shut the engine off, and save a few bucks on petrol.
Ah yes, coasting.
Nice. I was wondering what they were called.
I live next to the defunct Forgotten World Highway train tracks in NZ.
It's now set up for tourists in rail carts so is still maintained.
Be a quicker way to get to the local town or just to go down the road to visit mates.
Tourist schedule depending, of course :)

@@suriyanarayananjanakiraman1127 That innovation could be further improved by an axle driven generator and AC compressor. Yahoo, let the good times roll!
Imagine the thoughts and comments of the train crew, looking back and seeing a Land Cruiser chasing them on the rails.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I drove the Nullabor in 1975 in a truck I bought in Sydney from a retired engineer. He fitted it out to travel the outback. A 1956 International Harvest truck in mint condition. I got lucky and his knowledge of the roads saved my life so The final leg of my 6 month outback trek was the Port Augusta to Freemantle route. Wow it blew me away and no A/C I might ad. Up early 2 or3 am when it was pleasant say80 degree's farhrenheit , looking out for big six foot tall red roo's. I love Australia for diverse terrain unspoiled by man and the people who were truly peaceful loving souls.. Yeah and the range feed beef topped off with a local beer.
Unspoiled by man? The entire continent's ecosystem is in shambles because of man.
thanks for posting this. I saw a truck like this parked at our hotel in Texas (USA) and showed it my grandson, and this helped him to envision how it works. How cool!!!!!

Thanks

this is one of the things on my bucket list
best thing watched this month. thanks ❤
Wow Amazing Superb
Dil khush ho gaya dekh kar
Just imagine the driver suddenly observes a full size rail engine coming towards it.... Bang.... Put the car on Reverse gear...full throttle ....
If you have time, otherwise hit the brakes and bail out.
Or you could just lift the rails and wait for it to pass
Seen this for the first time 😅
Excellent video , cool hi-rail truck
Exceptional planning and design.👌👌👍
*Really very nice Idea, Superb* 😊👍❣️🇮🇳
"Wait what? They drive cars on rail tracks?"
Oh wait, it's Australia, makes complete sense.
All countries have this
WOW! Wonderful..... it's amazing for me....Nice !deas....superb👌👌👌
Absolutely the finest RR track that I have ever seen, in 65 years!! Wow!!!!
what an awesome way to travel i use to love watching these cars as a kid
Those trucks are so cool. I've seen them on the railroad when my dad used to work for Amtrak.

I love the tail gating the freight train
when i was much younger i used to watch this on my grandma's pc when i was staying at her place, we used to laugh so much at the part where the truck is behind the train and this video has given me so much joy back then even tho i did not understand a single word of english back then
Its all fun and games untill a locomotive appears from the front
Xgxgmzmmtakak55qk6w
If it is in India, definitely loco may appear from the front.
😂😂😂
That won’t happen, those high rail trucks work for the rail company, they more than likely have the authorization to be there, so the dispatcher has informed the other trains of their presence!
Just stop and lower the rail guides and drive off the track
I rode that stretch from Adelaide to Cook. I took the entire journey from Sydney to Perth. It was wonderful. We stopped in Cook for a while. there was an old abandoned hospital there. They didn't name it Cook for no reason. It was hot as hell there.
Outstanding fantastic fabulous bravo excellent mostion

U r awesome 👍👏
Amazing video 🤩🤩👌
Amazing ❤️❤️❤️
I've seen these in action but I'd love to go for a cruise in one!
Yuuuuuuuoo

I did this job in the North East. Because it was a 'commuter railroad' we could only go 30mph forward according to regulations, and 20 mph in reverse. Our titles were track inspectors. Patrol speed was slow enough where (being it was the main line with 4 tracks) we could observe any and all FRA defects and violations. Great job to have!

Wander full very nice bro 👌🤝👍🙏
Wow great footage
Wow amazing
Really nice to see the car travel down the Australian tracks
Wonderful idea.
This is so cool.
This ride seems arranged one but certainly unprecedented for me so I am thrilled. Good luck rider rides without any incoming train
reminds me of back in the day when I use to do track inspections (run the length) we called these vehicles road/rail vehicles or hy rails.
Looks like a fun job
After 10 years recommended!!!...

you have no idea how bad i want one of those setups!!! Not sure what i would need it for, and ill most likely get killed, but i just want to try it!! lol
Remember watching this all the time when I was 6
How could anyone dislike this?
I love australia..From India..
Super Hats off
Yeah This is AWESOME 👍. Make Your Own Personal Train and Run on Tracks. I Think it's illegal But It's More Than Fun. Very Good.👍 Only One Thing is Missing Guess What? A BEER or WINE.☺
waaaaaaaaw kiaaaaaaaaabaaaaaaaat haaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiii
aap na time aayga
I agree
This was awesome.
How cool is that.
AIUI the small flanged "rail wheels" are just to guide the vehicle along the track. The drive comes from the "road wheels" which are spaced so they sit neatly on top of the track.
Correct .. so break also can be handled nicely

Eita que dá hora hein 👌👊👊👍🏻👍🏻
It is a illigal work
Just curious, how fast in speed can this attain?
Considering the lightness between the rails & the car, self-propelling can be tough compared to real trains themselves that are heavy & provide a relatively stronger grip! Cheers

In india we using huge truck in track
This is great ! 👍🏻

Reminds me of the "Highrailler" vehicles that BNSF(Santa Fe) Railway uses here in the states. Almost every day or two I see the Track Superintendent pass by the apartment complex where I live now. The old Santa Fe Railway runs right behind the complex here in Fresno- It's the main line through the Central Valley. Mike in Fresno, Ca.
No overtaking lane.... "Damn, I'm stuck behind this thing all the way to Adelaide."
