Metro Trains on the Final Day of North Williamstown Station | Pre-LXRA

A little late today because of a few processing issues.
Anyways, time the last of the three videos captured during our one weekend out of lockdown at he start of the month. Today we visit North Williamstown Station on the final day of trains stopping. The station is being rebuilt as part of the LXRA project, and is planned for completion later in the year.

Today also marks the beginning of our revised uploading schedule which will be in operation till mid-November. Looking at the current situation, it looks likely that we will be adopting the fortnightly schedule for a little while till a few more railway related events are able to operate again.
Thanks again, till next time!

Red Rattler Driver Training to the East | Steamrail/Elecrail - Taits Mai...

G'day everyone, time for another weekly video.
Hope everyone's been well despite being in another lockdown. Today we take a look at the operations from the previous weekend of when the Taits made there operations on the eastern lines.
Hopefully you all enjoy!

Also, seeing I only use this weekly, time for a slight update with is to be announced later in the week. From the end of the week, there will be temporary changes to the schedule effective until the 15th of November. This is a change from weekly videos to fortnightly during the times when videos are not able to be filmed recently. This is due to a hard drive issue and preparation for our 10 year.

Steam Hauls V/Line Carriages 'Up the Straight' | Steamrail - Ballarat Dr...

We are back on schedule with videos!
After the relaxing of restrictions from Victoria's latest lockdown, we are now able to get back to chasing trains again.
Today we capture R761 on a driver training run to Ballarat, close to that of around two years ago when she also ran to Seymour. This time the service ran via Bacchus Marsh both ways, finally making the return of steam to the section, properly.
R761 hauled two sets of V/Line H carriages, this being the first time in over 20 years.
Anyways, enjoy, and catch you all again next week, should be pretty self expiatory what's to come next week.
