There's nothing better feeling than jumping on a 1.5 km Freight, train kicking back with a cold 6 pack of VB travelling 1200 km to the Bottle shop for more. I wish they had a barbie at the back of the train.
11 minutes in, and I'm honestly blown away. Buy your cinematography really amazing
Nice to have descriptions of where, when and what we are watching.
It’s just amazing how trains in the US and Australia differ. Not one car has any graffiti on it and the tracks seem well maintained . Almost unreal how quiet they are. Great video !
Our road trains are longer, before they get to the cities as well. Sometimes 3 prime movers moving a whole host of trailers. I showd a road train to a US trucker , and he was amazed how we do things. I said "We might buy your trucks, but we do it better and more imaginatively."..lol. He only tows three trailers there on his job. He was amazed our blokes pulling 5 and 6 trailers, let alone the rest.
@@brianmorris8045 my father was friends with a Truckee....I remember riding along for days in atikison or Kenworth in the outback....bbqs along the way in the middle of no were
Dude y'all trains really don't compare at all js man we have big GE's awesome EMD's and heavier, longer trains and way more classes of railways although its some railways that are similar in power and quantity like rio tinto which is very unique with crew less Auto trains ❤
There's graffiti alright. Look a bit closer mate.
Cool assortment of trains there, cool scenery too
Thanks for the video 📹 could watch all Sunday in New Zealand 🇳🇿 like the intermodal/ mixed manifest, take care & thanks ❤
Love NR-30 and NR-31, the locos in "Great Southern" livery. Hope they are rostered when I travel on "GS' in late February.
Great stuff. Also a great look at outback NSW. Thanks
Thanks from America stunning video
Great snap shot of this vital piece of Australian transport and its infrastructure
From Adelaide. Thank you for posting. Great camera work and super locations too.
Massive machines, Hi from England
Wow that opening great stuff well done Dave quite the bump at the crossing 26.37 in
What an opening scene. I nearly reached for the popcorn. Great vid. I love the outback and great to see the grain silos in operation again.
Great video! Not to be picky, the site at Bogan Gate is a former AWB site now owned by Manildra Group not GrainCorp.
NICE WORK MATE VERY NICE WORK WITH THE SHOW AND THE TRANS VERY NICE
Great video. Really enjoyed the different angles an info of the trains and nice views of country NSW...
Great videos. . I spend as much downtime as I can now travelling rural and outback NSW to look at freight trains and affiliated infrastructure. At the age of 54 I still can't pinpoint why I like trains and even looking at railways without a train running on one. I guess I'm not the lone ranger here
Thanks for a bumper edition! I loved every minute of it and always learn about framing of shots from watching your work.
Awesome video! Beautifully shot, capturing the feel of the whole thing. Obviously a lot of time and patience went into making this. Thank you!
I'm glad the weather was nice and warm for you in the early shots :) Great video!!!
Awesome 👍 Fantastic 👌 Video ❤❤❤
Great video for a train buff like me. I would love to ride on the Indian Pacific just for the thrill of it, it would be an epic adventure.
Nice! Never see Aussie train action. Thanks this is a good vid. Subbed! and enjoyed!
There's something about regional NSW. Its like time stood still there for about 100 years. Modernisation is catching up with it now but still an underrated area of the world.
Excellent video.
Love the SCT double stacked.
SA and NSW great train action.
Thank you for the marathon run you provided for us….. early mornings and late nights ….was educated by you r presentation about trains & their movements, mostly facts I didn’t even know existed in our big wide land of Aust…!!
Thank you ..
(Ps. small suggestion….1. Use a tripod -easier for you…. and 2. show us on a map shot where each sequence is located- easier for us !)
Yet again, another fine, well put together video mate! Devasted I wasn't able to join you that trip, you cleaned up well!
This video is absolutely brilliant!
Nice video, very high quality...no distracting chatter or music.
The Indian Pacific is amazing! 27 cars! They look like the Budd stainless steel passenger cars which ran on many US streamliners in the 1950s. The only American train that compares in length today is Amtrak's Auto Train (Virginia-Florida), and half of its cars are auto carriers. (We do have the superlong freight trains like yours.)
I'd love to come to Australia, ride the IP and see this freight action in person!
Thank you for the video! Very interesting and amazing trains! I love freight trains!
Very Nice
Great video, much enjoyed, didn’t see any “Outback” though.
great video mate .. looking forward to seeing more for you ... many thanks!
This is awesome to see how the Aussies have super clean R.R. s. No graffiti. No funky old uniits. Clean tight railroading. No Americana here. Cool !
US intermodal trains dont have graffiti on them. Im sure some australian freights do as well. US freight is so much more impressive, our trains go farther and are longer
I could watch your videos all day! Such good photography and very informative commentary. Thank you.
When you mention a crew change at Parkes for the Indian pacific, I assume you mean the loco drivers and not the cabin crew? Do the drivers travel on the train or stay in accommodation in the town?
Thanks for the comment glad you liked it, the crew who bring the train from Sydney will stay at a hotel in Parkes and work a corresponding train back to Sydney or travel home in a car the following day. A Parkes crew will take the train to Broken hill and so on and so forth until Perth. Pacific National have depots in Sydney, Parkes and Broken Hill. The cabin crew remain on the train at Parkes but I am unsure if they stay on the train the whole journey or change over during the trip.
Great video and great catches
Loved it! Well done there! The only thing that I found is about where you’ve put the word “capaeble” as it should be capable; other than that fab vid! Looking forward to more! Will explore ur channel soon! 😊👍 Watching these vids has allowed me to enjoy one of my hobbies trackside without being there!
Awesome catches there totally 😎👍🏻 Have a great day and enjoy 🚂🫵
Great Video 👍👍👍
Nice vlog!!
Great footage of impressive quality. Congratulations! Thanks for sharing!💯
australia locomotives resemble appearances of european british models with american engine and signaling
Nice video :)
Nice Video!
The Indian Pacific is a wonderful journey. The only issue is the quality of the line between Blayney and Broken Hill. No one got any sleep night one East to West...
ARTC track never fails to dissapoint. That dip at the level crossing at Yarrabandai is a joke.
I saw your comment before I got to that part of the video. That dip is insane!
-4 degrees c sounds delightful after a high of 42 deg c here in the PNW USA
Same here in summer!
Awesome video. Thank you for posting it. I have saved it to my favorites. So the train for Manildra at Bomaderry will run via the Blue Mtn line and Sydney?
Yes, if it was to go via the Main South it would not pass through Parkes station rather turn off at Goobang Junction and head to Cootamundra via Forbes
Double stacking must be reducing the bridges they could go under. Must be a lot of work planning those journeys, unless they take some containers off the top when getting closer to the cities.
Yes, the Pacific National double stacked trains in this video are double stacked to and from Parkes. PN run shuttles to and from Sydney with additional loading
It´s amazing! I love it! 😀
great
What a great video , really liked it ❤
Great videos
Well done indeed!
super train video
G530 has been doing nearly every Adelaide Sydney Sydney Adelaide run since I started filming it in Adelaide, June I think I first saw it.
Took a few goes to actually capture it though
Fantastic man . 👍🏻😎 Robin out
You have answered my question about the 3 locos and the reason for them. It is reasonably flat here in WA and 2 locos are fine through to Perth. I wonder if the train length is set for about 1800 metres over there because of the passing sidings on the Nullabor.
Also noted there was no fuel tanker sitting behind the locos with this AN Coy set up. SCT have tankers attached with in line fueling on the Perth run.
Also Australia has been running double stacked freight for quite a while, much to the surprise of BNSF fans in the USA.
There was a Brisbane Adelaide freight train via Sydney - What happened to the Inland Rail project. Was it cancelled due to some unhappy farmers in country NSW along the projected route.
Hope you get an International Audience for your videos.
🎉
Looks like you use floodlight especially at 1.03
Most frequently used level crossings in the country are lit up at night by street lights
Great videos you have how do you get from one site to another to film the same train?
Maybe put dates in as well when you filmed??
i'm going to say it, if anyone should've brought KCS it's Pacific National! Oh and I'm an Aussie!
🎉🎉🎉🎉
12:26, what is this train at
I'm no railway engineer, but that crossing at 26m 30s onwards, looks pretty rough to me. Locomotives and rolling stock bouncing all over the place.
A quality video, very impressive, especially the night recordings, must be top notch gear you are using. By the way, Bogan Gate is near 40kms from Parkes, and the "Broken Hill Explorer" is actually named (by NSW TrainLink) "The Outback Explorer". At 1.07 you are across from Laurie McGills "Overland" property and that is at Monomie, not Bogan Gate. There used to be a small station and siding at Monomie, all demolished in the late 1970's. It was to your left on the other side of the passive crossing, no trace remains, it was all flooded out there in Nov 2022 and the line was left hanging in the air. Also the GrainCorp terminal closed in 2017 at Bogan Gate (near the station), you must be referring to the former GrainFlow site at Bogan Gate West (4kms west of the town on Leafy Tank Road) which was bought out two years ago by the Manildra Group and now known as "Manildra Group, Bogan Gate West". Loved the scene of the little 48 class leading the 81 at Bumberry, nice catch.😉
Thanks for the added info. I decided when creating the film that I would use specific train locations as descriped in video titles rather than the actual intermittent locations in which the train is passing as there are a lot and I am not going to mention who owns the property adjacent to the line. The Broken Hill Explorer is referred to, by us in Sydney as the trains title, anything outside of that is upto travellers discretion so that is interesting to know. If you have watched our previous videos we are also well aware of the flooding that occurred on the line during those times. The grain flow site did in fact get bought out by Manildra so nicely done in that respect and is an error on my behalf. Either Ether the site can still be referred to or be easily found by people wishing to visit the area should the chance arise.
@@south_coast_freight_ Thank you, I was on the train to Menindee the other week and the on train crew announced it as "The Outback Explorer" as does the NSW TrainLink website, each to their own. Railway history is important to a number of us who video out this way as the history is slowly disappearing as the years pass. Hence the mention of Monomie etc, keeping our past alive. Good quality video from you, keep up the good work.
How do you know when the trains are scheduled? Is there a website with the information?
ARTC Master Train Plan available on their website
So you filmed in the future?
Absolutely Awesome! I just think the longer the train, the more that can go wrong. Fingers crossed . . . Not sure why the helpers (middle and rear) are way more prevalent in the USA? Rare in Australia.
Don`t the fires get away from the person that is watching them.???????????
An interesting video, but massive? In Canada and the States I see trains twice as long as this, sometimes with four or five locomotives on a regular basis.
Thanks but yes compared to the US and Canada no these trains do not come close. As stated in the title and some info in descriptions the trains featured are some of the largest that operate within NSW.
Thats just fine. It makes modeling them easier and less expensive.
New 🆕 subscribe 🔥👊🏽 amazing hunting 🤝🏽
Well, looks like Australia has the same problem we do with vandals painting the railcars, hmm.
So weird seeing double stack well cars and high cube boxcars in Australia
How long have those been operating in Australia?
