Man! Train's in Australlia and trains in the U.S.A have alot in common, but Australlia is even better, cause when you have steam engines running through the downtown area of a big city, you know it's gonna be spectacular!

Why does everything look normal? Isn’t it all supposed to be upside down?? 😂

My wild guess is that it’s a Wide Font K5LA!!!

I'm pretty sure the MZ classes in Sydney have the same horn but on a different manifold.

Adam, a question. I know that the railroads in Vic., don't share US Railroad practices but the one thing is blowing for someone or for a road or grade crossing. I notice that you only blow the horn once where as here we blow 2 longs a short and a long for someone or a road crossing. so the question, why do the railroads in Vic, and elsewhere only blow the one time instead of more of a warning, thus giving more notification a train is about to you and also so we can enjoy the horn? Just curious.

@AUSSIETRAINDRIVER

10 жыл бұрын

Jim the Standard in Victoria is a minimum of one long, one short before each crossing. But any more is at the descretion of the driver/engineer, If the trains prescence is seen to be un noticed or ignored by animals or people on or near the line, using the horn more frequently is required. after all it could save someones life, or keep the locomotive crew safe or out of jail when an investigation takes place after an accident. The sound of a long whistle should be distinct, and used in proportion to the distance at which the whistle is required to be heard. www.artc.com.au/library/TA20_Section_10.pdf

@Scotford_Maconochie

The 2 engineers at the end only blows the horn for no reason. Its running grade separated and there's a very unlikely there's a crew working on track as the train goes.
