Yep it was awesome as it went past

Thankyou for bringing us another ripper Brendan. I think a lot of GV residents who use the train to Melbourne will be thankful for these upgrades. A bit of a pity the ‘N sets’ are gone now, but I guess that’s progress.

Many don't like the Vlo mate. Better infrastructure will also lead to more frequent services as well

Loved this video, great work for staying overnight to capture it! What load does the infrastructure train carry?

@Schony747

Normally it's carrying spoil such dirt and ballast from reconstruction

Great video. Do these streamlines still lead trains or are they all now retired? If not yet how much longer will they be in service?

@Schony747

They still lead train but more often than not are trailing units. They will be around for as long as SSR here in Victoria see them as a viable option for running trains.

At 8.33 the SG line seems to have subsided quite a bit

There's a couple of mud holes there

The closest in length to that here in the UK are High Output Ballast Cleaning trains

I've seen them in action! They are pretty cool

What was the actual purpose for the train running to Seymour and back? Did they deliver ballast in those containers? Or rail? Seemed like a lot of empty wagons in both directions.

It was to bed down the new concrete sleepers with the existing rail

I've seen in America when they use 6 loco's, as well as other configurations, , they sometimes have have two in the middle.

QLD coal trains used to do a similar thing didn’t they? With a radio transmitter car in the middle as well?

The use of mid locos is not overly common here. You'll find a few on coal trains in such places as the Hunter Valley and ore trains in Western Australia but it's not Common on mainline freights

Where all 6 locos controlled from the front or was there a driver in the push 3

Both trains had drivers. I'm not sure who and what was controlling what. I assume the front would control the whole lot.

Where would they stable a train that length?

At Seymour they could probably stable the train between Seymour and Mangalore as it was a total occupation. The other option would be Seymour loop just south of Seymour

What date was this?

He indeed could have used more punctuation, nevertheless everything was coherent and made perfect sense. On the other hand, "If only you could write corect in english" should probably be something like "If only you could write English correctly."
