SteamRail Double Header from Melbourne to Traralgon.
A very big thanks to Geoff Moller (father in-law) for donating this footage to me and for taking the time to film these lovely steam engines to share with the world on XxBec3509 TRFF.
First from the west towards the Waterloo Road rail crossing, then seen stationary awaiting for a Melbourne bound Sprinter to pass.Resumes on its way to the Moe Railway Station, once the Sprinter has passed, then seen stationary at Moe Station,waiting for passengers to board.
Eastbound from Moe across Narracan Creek towards the Haunted Hills, Newborough Next....

brilliant footage. i wish i had seen something as good as thins when i visited Oz 4 yrs ago.faved..kevin
How lucky the train had to stop here, what a memory and a wonderful chance for a close up view.
There’s one thing that Australia has with their steam locomotives that no other country has.
It’s Our Unique Whistles
Your right there
yep, thats why i only like australian trains usually
Love the colours of the locomotives, how they shine, a credit to all who look after them ,
Wonderful film! Thank you so much fro sharing. I'm a huge fan of the steam locomotives and its heartwarming to see they are being still used and taken care of in Australia. I hope you keep up your excellent work and send me a copy of future uploads. Take care!
...anwar...
These young ones will hold on to this memory for life..
Great video XxBec3509 like the shot when the locomotive appears
All fixed
Nice shots...... I love those R class locos. Their work was amazing on the Melbourne Warnambool Sat service trains in the early 2000s. I so regret not going to Victoria and taking a trip when they were running. I heard that they easily kept modern diesel timings. I'd like to see them run at 150, which they could easily do.
For UK viewers - I'm sure you love the safety regs. In the Northern Territory they are even stricter…..ツ …☁☁☁⁘⁙☁☁⁙..☁……Hᴜɢʜ….Lɪᴋᴇᴅ

That's not a sprinter, it's a Vlocity 2nd series
Funny looking sprinter I thought too.
It appeared that the engines had both automatic couplers, and separators and chains.
When did they change over?
I love Australian railways. Their components appear to be about three-quarters North American railway designs and one-quarter British railway designs.
Thanks for the video.
#numberzerozero six. The steam locos are fitted with "transition couplers" where the auto coupler could be swung aside and the screw coupling used. The VR started phasing out screw couplings in the late 1920's, see this article: www.pjv101.net/cd/pages/vrf_ac.htm
Why Britain and Europe have persisted with that archaic system into the 21st century I don't know.
Love to try this also next time i see the land Down under,This looks Awesome and how a Steam train Should look ❤💗❤💗 Woooowoooooo.🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂
Thanks Dave m8 :) from Sean
These young ones will tell there grand children what they saw..
Sheldon would love this...
I remember being on the Sprit of Progress way back in the 1950s when the R class Hudsons were coal fired. Don't tell my fellow NSWelshmen , but I thought the R class were and still are superior to our 38s
Details of the Spirit
www.railpage.com.au/f-p1551197.htm hauled by an older S class Pacific.
If I am wrong please post corrections.
The '38s are some beautiful locos though
Which part is the RARE FOOTAGE?
CGT867 the bit that is rare. Because my youtube is based in the uk.
Well for those in the UK who want to come and see it - they run the Snow Train to Traralgon twice a year every winter (July - August) double-headed with 2 R class locos.
Ignore the first 5 minutes, it's a waste of time.
Jesus. Bogans on the track side. And kids no less. Just what you want as a driver approaching.
Why is the footage rare?
find the exact same film therefore it's rare
