Hopefully the Tracks didn't have damage due to the driving wheels trying to get traction?

Track is in one piece mate
G'day Brendan, Great catch how long did it hold up the line for. V/Line wouldn't be happy about it. Cheers Louis Kats 👍

I reckon maybe 5 hours. OT normally leaves the quarry around 130pm and wasn't cleared until around 530pm

Did G515 stall because of a mechanical fault or just too heavy to get over the hill?

Probably mechanical as it normally has no problem getting over the hill
You would think it would have a second engine for back up.

You would think a G could handle the small train

Normally no need for the extra motive power. This was an odd one.

January last year I saw push - pull on the Apex and thought it made sense, not only with avoiding the run around at the quarry but would also help with issues like this. Any reason why it’s rare?

Because it never happens. Last year was due to track work and occupations.
What is the safe working signaling system? Is it broad or standard gauge? Driver's relief order then a Special train Authority issued be ARTC controllers or Vline Centrol?

Centrol V/Line as this was a broad gauge train. ARTC would have been aware so its trains could slow down around the scene
Any idea what caused the train to stall?

Loco issue. I'm not sure of the technical reason behind it
Could it have backed down the hill and had another attempt?
@Schony747

I don't think so. If it got stuck the first time, it won't make it again. Safe working may have been an issue as well
