In this video we see some trackside action in Dandenong, a busy suburban hub in Melbourne's outer south-east. We primarily see some trains the Webster Street level crossing, a spot that has become fairly popular with rail enthusiasts lately, as well as a couple of other locations nearby. Throughout the video we see the usual variety of Metro Trains Melbourne Comeng and Siemens EMU's as well as some V/Line Vlocities. However we do see multiple sightings of interest and a couple of unexpected surprises, including:
- Brand new High Capacity Metro Train's (HCMT) sets 11 & 18 heading towards the city on test runs. The HCMT's are the first new type of electric rollingstock to be introduced on the metropolitan rail network in nearly two decades.
- Metro track inspection vehicle IEV100 returning to Melbourne after spending some time in Gippsland.
- The Dandenong Cement Train with G515 & B74.
- The Maryvale Paper Train with VL360 & VL354.
With COVID lockdown restrictions having been eased in Melbourne and the 'ring of steel' between Melbourne and Regional Victoria removed, this is my first new Melbourne-based video to be recorded in over 4 months! It's good to be back in Melbourne!
This is technically a sequel to my Trackside at Dandenong video. I had originally intended for these two videos to be recorded on the same day (and in hindsight it worked out well that I didn't ;) ) Check out that video if you haven't already: • Trackside at Dandenong...
