Surely they haven't got any of those impossible to understand Indian sheila's on the 2 way!! Mate, top stuff. Something on a full service on one of these beast's would be great to watch if possible. The mind boggle's to the amount of track work there is. I never thought there was such a network.

There are tracks everywhere 🤣🤣 It's quite a network behind the scenes as well as the people that keep the trains running. 👍😀

Having caught the train to Kensington a few thousand times, taking a left just before North Melbourne almost feels illegal. I love it.

I was a shunter in Melbourne yard for some time back in the 80s. We were part of the Traffic branch, but Dynon had their own shunters belonging to the Rolling stock branch. They were a bit of a mystery bunch in my mind, I always imagined they had a cushy job over there!

After dynon reduced to a ghost town, it's now building up with the changes happening there. They have a yard master as well as shunters again. 👍😀

Great video finally see what & how the line that runs close to the road & the first line as you go under Dudley St Bridge. Love a video of the Qube, Maryvale combo going from Southern Station all the way to Qube. Trying to figure where it goes from Dudley St Bridge towards Kensington Station & back Qube. That would be something to see. Still great video Cheers Louis Kats 👍

Very interesting to something operational. Is the engine just refueled or is other checking and maintenance done at at same time? Actual fuel consumption and range is something else I have pondered while hauling a N Set along with frequency of refueling.
