C Class Leader On Heritage | SRHC - Western Daylight To Ararat | C501 'G...

Hey all,

So time for another weekly video. Now that heritage tours have resumed, it's safe to assume what half of the upcoming videos will be. Last week we resumed our weekly schedule, so with that, today's video covers our views of Seymour Railway Heritage Centre's first tour for 2022, the Western Daylight featuring locomotive C501 on her debut tour with the SRHC. The tour comprised of the standard gauge fleet travelling to Ararat, using the Western Standard Gauge Main Line. C501 was paired with locomotives T357 and P22 to allow for running around and HEP. It really wasn't an easy chase, with the road speed equaling the rail line for most of the way. The video was cut short on the return due to a few issues on my part, and delays the train had caused after braking issues with one of the locomotives.

Anyways, hope you all enjoy, it's not usual we have the pacing part imbedded within the video, so till next time, catch you all.

Final Days of the Pacific National Wollongong-Melbourne Steel Train | Pa...

G'day everyone. Were back for another video, and contrary to our last post, this is the final holiday extra, as I misread the schedule and the earlier post. Anyways today we take a look at the final few days of operation of Pacific National's WM2/4 steel service for BlueScope Steel, that has since been taken over by QUBE.

This video covers some of the final arrivals in to Melbourne, and still able to capture the small variety of locomotives Pacific National used to offer on the service. Hope you all enjoy.

So back onto the schedule. From here on our we are back to our weekly videos, scheduled for 10:30 AEDT or AEST on Mondays and for any two part videos, the second part will be 11:00 AEDT or AEST Thursdays. Till next time, catch you all.

Steamrail - Otway Explorer 2022 | S313 & N458

Alrighty, welcome. Today we have our video of our attempt at chasing the Otway Explorer, the first tour for 2022. So the chase overall could have gone better, with various road works and timing issues with the train made it a rather tiring first train for the 2022 heritage season. Anyways, this year, locomotives S313 and V/Line's N458 took charge of the train. The chase was initially planned to Winchelsea, with some limitations because of that. Anyways, back to the backlog with the next video, and if I'm not mistaken, two more weeks of our holiday schedule. Till next time, catch you all later.

First Day of Trains at the New Bonbeach Station - Melbourne Trains

We are back to start off another week. I guess you could call this part two of our coverage of the first day of trains at the new stations on the Frankston line. This time we are at Bonbeach Station. The design of the station is pretty much identical to that of Edithvale, with the exception of a whistle board on the north side of the station for down services. We capture various trains through the stations as we approach the peak rush. The final of the three videos, Chelsea, will be uploaded when there is an available slot, since tours will be resuming and our holiday schedule will be coming to an end soon. Till next time, catch you all.
