- On Saturday, the 11th of August 2018, PN Freight 4PM6 departed Belair Loop after a double-cross with 6MP9 & 6MP5. The train began to struggle from the start and only managed to make it 2.5 Kilometres up the hill.
Due to the line being blocked, Pacific National had to act fast. They sent two NRs (68/81) from Islington ex 6MA5 to return the service to Belair. The rest of the operation is seen in the video, including the train at Mount Lofty & Balhannah after being rescued.
7MP7 is also seen within the video (05:30) with NR54/NR75/NR25 at Belair after PM6 was pulled back into the Crossing Loop.

Awesome capture. And love the atmospheric weather at Mount Lofty. 👏👍😍
Great video... but an excellent catch with MP7 & the PN/Ghan/IP liveries together.
great stuff. thanks for what obviously took a long time to film.
Gud vidoz I'm from India 🇮🇳
Very interesting video with plenty of variety. Hope to see a running session of your home layout sometime soon. Cheers Greg
Who puts these trains together; can't they figure out how much motive power will be necessary? Seems like this is a good way to burn out generators and motors. Just spcalatin', but I do enjoy seeing the Australian landscape and the trains.
Every locomotive I see is bloody filthy here in Australia, I live next to the Stony Point line in Victoria and the Pacific National loco's running on this line are also never washed, I guess the tight asses at PN can't be bothered keeping their loco's clean!
Why did the train fail? Loco failure? It would explain why they didnt just push it over and keep going...
@@MS_Trains Thanks for the explanation. Makes sense. In fair weather are the 2 locos enough? Did NR68 continue through tto Melbourne too or was it taken off after going through the range?
How do you know when the trains go through?
I live near a the south line and would like to video trains that go through but i never know when they go or i'm to late :(
Plus great video :) love it. i Subscribed
Why not try to push over the hill once they had the extra locos?
Great and informative videos. Just love your work! My question, how are the DPU’s controlled? I assume it is by radio. Can you please confirm this for me and possibly tell me a little more about it, ie: FM, AM, Digital and what band and range? Control has come a long way in the 40 years since I was involved with the railway.
M&S Trains hi there. Have become a real railfan and watch lots of web (utube) particularly in the states. They seem to have what they call DPU’s ( distributed power units ) which I understand from questioning them, is managed by a single driver in the front engine, by radio control. I have not been able to get any more info about this from the states. They either don’t know technically or don’t want me to know. I assumed, watching your video (and know that I am Ausie and have been in and around railways since I was a little kid as my father was station master CANBERRA ) and associated with commonwealth railways for 40 + years) that Ausie was now also using DPU with 2 engines upfront and 2 engines at the rear. I did not see the drives in the tail units 😳 sorry!
Dean; most of our newer locomotives come from the builder equipped to operate as DPU. All that is needed is a switch to be flipped. Then, even though the locomotive is in the rear [or sometimes middle] of the train, it acts as if it's at the head end. I, too, am unsure, but I am of the opinion that the control is electrical rather than radio transmission.
Great video, I was hoping for M&S vs wild tho.. jokes nice video, good to see you there
Why are Australian locomotives so dirty why don't they clean them give a coat of paint
All you need is a dust storm and then some light rain and everything is dirty.
