This is a cool thing to see from a place you don’t often get to see dolphins cruising past in such numbers! If you missed it, we got it. Not sure where they were coming from or going to but they were flying along.

Welcome to the channel. Hit that subscribe button. We are also on Facebook! In this video filmed at Hawksburn Station we have four Metro Trains stopped at once. We wouldn’t say this happens a lot and with testing going on it made it a bit easier to catch. But it’s something that would’ve been hard to do with moving trains and into the future might be even harder. Thanks for watching!!!

So we thought we’d have a crack at getting an epic shot of some Melbourne built and icons from the 80’s being Comeng and A/B Class trams at the Normanby underpass.

Now I’m sure someone has got a cracker pic or video that they have. #thenormanbyfour This is our first attempt but if you just want to wat...

Why don’t they fix it
I’ll say cost (which would be massive) and I’m not really sure who looks after it. It would be unreal to keep it so it doesn’t fall at some stage. Thanks for watching!!!
It would’ve been awesome seeing trains 🚂 cross over the bridge and the old Orbost line also would’ve been an amazing Heritage railway
@ so much good scenery and bridges all the way from Bairnsdale to Orbost. It really would’ve been something else to see back when it ran. Thanks for watching!!!!
HCMTs stopping at that station 💀
It’s a tight squeeze!!! Might need some work if it’s to happen in future.
I hope they stop there in the future, would create a better interchange for the tunnel than Caulfield!
@ after experiencing Caulfield you’re right, it needs major improvement if that’s the way of the future! It was like a cattle grid!
Saw some this back a few months back, was at Clayton and there was a HCMT in the station, on on the skyrail, and one crawling past the foot crossing at one stage
The up side of Clayton is the last spot it can get that close then back to normal signals on the down. Thanks for watching!!!!
Yeah. Saw this at Caulfield a month-ish ago. This is normal in-service operations under CBTC
There was heaps this morning at Hawksburn. Very cool to see! Thanks for watching!!!
@@smarTarraY2000 I bet with the Dandenong line terminating at Caulfiled, there was a backlog. Got caught up in it all this morning.
@ I reckon. Taking the points out there at Caulfield doesn’t give much option. Thanks for watching!!!
effectively a 7 car comeng.
Yes. HCMT style. Thanks for watching!!!
er saturday was the 4th not the 5th.
Thanks, got mixed up coz it went over 2 days the chase. Thanks for watching!!!
Why are they testing them out east Pakky? I wish they would go into service here again.
Not sure the test was out to east Paky, it was more that they needed the loop so the Evie remained trailing. Into the future they’ll have to put it in the middle or some other arrangement. How the ran it won’t work on any other terminus. Thanks for watching!!!! Yes, it would be nice to have the occasional Comeng down there
Was hoping someone would get it in the loop, well done!
Thank you, it was a quick dash down there but we made it and back in time to get it. Thanks for watching!!!
Shouldn’t you be in bed
Sleep when ya dead… can’t miss something like this!
Rare Moment. I almost caught this. Lucky...
Rare, for now and maybe this consist but I think we’ll see it more often. Maybe the only time the loop gets used though. Thanks for watching!!!
You actually pulled a $55 card
Not sure the value but it was a good pull! Pretty stoked with the number and who it was. Thanks for watching!!!
Are they now running test trains to watergardens?
They did yesterday and to Sunshine aswell.
@@smarTarraY2000what about this weekend will they be running up to Sunbury?
@ no idea. Not sure what the plan is. It may happen.
@@smarTarraY2000yeah alright thanks cause I know there is bus replacements between north Melbourne and Sunbury this weekend
was just at Huntingdale and a test train was right behind the regular service within a few metres testing I assume the signalling, pretty cool to see in normal ops
If it was at Huntingdale that is normal running. You’ll see the trains do that a lot when they’re not in service or one in front is late.
@@smarTarraY2000my train was on time , train behind was marked test train up
Stuff the Metro Rail Tunnel, the money spent has been spent on it could have been spent on more important things such as health, education, tackling our homeless crisis, fixing roads, and looking after people in aged care facilities, Metro Rail Tunnel what a waste of money and time spent on it's construction.
A lot has definitely gone into it. Thanks for watching.
The Metro Tunnel 1 is important to allow for more services across all lines since the city loop is at capacity. The suburban rail loop on the other hand is a big waste of money and only putting the state further in debt.
Make more video
Down direction next
Definitely 2024. I doubt there was ever 5 such shiny, clean looking locos in the VR/VLine fleets at any one time. 😊😊
I’ve seen a lot of old videos and you’re right they definitely weren’t gleaming like this. Thanks for watching!!!!
@@smarTarraY2000 They surely weren't! Cheers mate. 👍
Make more video
Will do! Thanks for watching!!!
Oh I was there not to long ago, someone put a Coles trolley on top of the shelter. 😂
😝 well it’s definitely down now! Thanks for watching!!!
@ I was like “who the fuck managed to do that”. I swear I would only see it in the US as a random prank. But that was something I’ve never seen before. Ever…
I was on a Stony Point train not too long ago, sad to see it go. In a perfect world this would be a good opportunity to add a second platform and track here.
There is space for something like that but I’m just not sure the passenger numbers warrant it. Be a great spot for stabling yard. Thanks for watching!!!
@@smarTarraY2000 Passenger numbers can improve. My (somewhat realistic) vision for the Stony Point line is having a service to Flinders St in peak hours (like the Alamein line), 45 minute frequencies both ways, a 2nd platform at Hastings, Leawarra, Baxter, and electrification to Baxter.
@@theozziepotatocouldn’t frankston services continue normally and be stopper service while stony point services go all the way to flinders street and are semi-express past frankston
@gibbo_303 That's what I was thinking. The Stony Point trains would realistically stop at Frankston, Moorabbin, Caulfield, South Yarra and Richmond.
I went through Hastings on the stony point train last Tuesday. Sad to see it burnt down just a few days later. 😭
It was sad, I’m sure there’ll be something new and fancy (maybe) put up soon. Thanks for watching!!!
Are they going to rebuild up Hasting station?
We would say so, they were quick to clear it up. It was probably due a revamp anyway, this might kick start at. Thanks for watching!!!
I mean the other stations on the line like Baxter and just glorified bus shelters
@ yeah, there’s not much to some of the others. Maybe this will mean a bit of coin spent down the line on each station.
Crazy i was there friday morning
Seen it on its last day. That is crazy.
R.I.P Hastings station
Isn't this middle Footscray on the Sunbury line?
Yeah, filmed from the platform at Middle Footscray. Thanks for watching!
@smarTarraY2000 Cool, I'm there a lot, also whenever I'm at Sunshine I see a million planes
@ yeah a lot fly over. Actually cool if you’re into planes and trains
sick shit
Thanks 🤩
Have you seen a lufthansa 747 or a airbus a380 emirates nba livery
No, we haven’t but looking forward to it maybe coming to Melbourne. Thanks for watching!!!!
Come to johannesburg you will see alot of jumbojets
Interesting. Usually those lines are on platform 7, 6 or 8 i think
Definitely been on 8 but both at the same time was interesting. Thanks for watching!!!
🤔The new trains get transferred by railroad, so how do the new trams get transferred?.🤔
Depending on where from normally by truck.
Wow 🎉🎉🎉
It’s something that we haven’t seen before. I’m sure it will happen again tho. Thanks for watching!!!
@@smarTarraY2000 Yeah... pretty uncommon. Very sure it will happen once again
It was Spencer St Station in 1984 . Victorian Railways was still very much alive that year. Trains like the Souther Aurora were still operating .
Thanks for watching!!! It really felt like all those decades ago
Just to clarify, the V/line trains are not going to use the new tunnel, right? This is just a test to make sure all the signalling works correctly, right?
@@jdillon8360 correct. They (V/Line) don’t have the in cab CBTC to get into the tunnel. This was to make sure both could run at the same time and have no problems. Thanks for watching!!!
uhh which footage is from darwin... and do you mean darwin from northern territory. anyways nice compilation
Yeah, Darwin Northern Territory. From 11:52-17:30 The Aurizon and Ghan stuff is from up there
Great video mate. The only issue I had was reading some of the writing against the backdrop and disappeared a bit too quick. Very interesting video though, 👍
Thanks for watching. Our editing wasn’t the best, don’t do it that often but will extend it for the future.
Once the ridiculous Metro Rail Tunnel is opened there will Metro travelers will try to get on the VLine trains, and they should be allowed to use that service.
@@sandrafowler6717 in agreement especially if you want to get to Richmond and Southern Cross. Thanks for watching!!!
which way is up and down in the tunnel?
@ UP to Town Hall both directions. DOWN once you pass it towards the suburbs. Thanks for watching!!!
I just realised ur user backwards is 0002YarraTrams
cool video and at 11:20 i also managed to see this one passing up towards city
I’m glad I got that one. Not a common sight anymore, still happens just not all the time. Thanks for watching!!!
@@smarTarraY2000 yeah. one of my latest video features that train. however luckily you get to spend more time on the consist
how did u get in the cab dawg
Perks of work and friends. Thanks for watching!!!
Spencer St Station, always has been, always will be! This habit of changing the names of places/things/locales has to stop.
😂 that’ll happen with private owned station. Thanks for watching!!!
I remember catching the A66 to the football back in the early 90s.
That’s cool as!!! Was it in the same livery? Thanks for watching!!!
Is it Steam Rail that maintain these engines?
SteamRail and 707 Operations keep these going. Thanks for watching!!!!
Those A class engines are iconic and are probably my favourite looking locos.
V/Line still has A66 I believe
I love the DHMU at the end! How the numbers have changed!!!!
It gave it a nice contrast. Thanks for watching!!!
its actually 6 trains a day
Is it, thanks for that. Not our regular area. Thanks for watching!!!
Good video i enjoyed it and subbed
Thank you for sub and watching!!!
Magnificent catches of the trains coming by and pass at the station,I like it 5 stars. Thumbs up. Keep up the perfect work, my friend, I just liked and subscribed your channel, Greetings from Portugal to the UK.
Unreal, thank you for your Sub!! An international watcher is awesome. This means a lot and we will continue to do our best.
@@smarTarraY2000 no problem.
@@smarTarraY2000 I have some incredible video of the trains that you will enjoy a lot.
@@smarTarraY2000 in Portugal, we have diesel-electric locomotives yhat have the same engine sound and thrash as as Class 20s: the CP 1400s.
Interesting when you look at those three loco’s, the A class was originally a B class with its original 567 V16 and turned into an A class after being heavily modified and updated with its higher horsepower turbo’d V12 back in the 1980’s when old mate Steve Crabb was transport minister and the Series 1 flat top T Class was on narrow gauge with that cement company in Geelong before taken over by Victorian Railways and the P class Ex V line started life as a Flat top series 1 T class when that was highly modified with a raised cab, head end power and uprated 645 to pull those H sets back in the day, good to see they are loved and looked after!
They have survived through evolving. Very interesting that they all have been modified, makes for a better story for each one. Thanks for watching!!!
Great catches ! I was in ol' Melbourne town 6 weeks ago , and got the OL to Adelaide , and it's a good trip . Certainly back to the future with these trains , and the X or C are my fav's....bit of a SD40- 2 fan 🙂 Cheers Gregg.
Thanks for watching Gregg!! Glad this brought some memories back!
C501 Is still straight SD40, not trying to be a nerd here but it's not an SD40-2. : )
@@viryepokesbutfirstno I meant the style really , not into boxes 🙂
T 413 is interesting as it WAS on NARROW gauge, then converted to BROAD GAUGE, and it was saved! NICE.
They’ve done a great job with it! We never knew the history of that either, so thank you! Thanks for watching!!!!
Why was it heading out to Bendigo (for maintenance no doubt)? And why was it on transfer? Ive only just caught this on u tube! 😊
Dandenong to Epping. This was the set in the truck crash at Glen Iris about 3 years ago. The front end was fixed at Alstom Dandenong. Thanks for watching!!!
Now I can finally complete my quest on getting every X’trapolis name
Is “Melbourne Rocks” the final frontier? I hope it gets sorted at Epping and keeps its name before Westall. Thanks for watching!
@ I’ve been waiting two years since I captured every other name
@ good luck. I was told there is a few names on trains by school kids.
It’s the closest you’ll get to being in the year 1984 and seeing these trains come to life.
It was!!! It was crazy with the liveries there. Well planned or great coincidence. Thanks for watching!!!!
