Final Loco-Hauled Albury Pass | V/Line's Last Loco-Hauled 8625/8630 - Re...

Howdy all,
Time for the second video of the week, apologies for the slight delay in uploading as well, waiting for YouTube to process is a bit of chore.
Anyways, today we have a video from earlier in the year capturing the final scheduled locomotive hauled service to Albury. On the 31st July, the Albury line became all VLocity with the last N class operating the midday service from Southern Cross Station the day before.
We travel out to capture the train all the way to Albury and return, marking the end of the 139 year old tradition of locomotive hauled service from Victoria. Not the end of loco hauled pass completely, with the XPT still due to operate for at least another 3 years.

Cheers all, catch you all again very soon. Reminder that phase one of the holiday schedule ends next week.
