Notice the overall weight of these passengers and compare them with the huge lumps of Australian humanity today Its no wonder high powered diesels are nedded to pull the train

What are you doing on Railroad tracks your right between two tracks.And then you come on my comment page talking about iam to close.Shame on you.

That’s pretty close

You got to be kidding me you come on my page talking about Iam to close.Your about the same distance as me.

Fix the aspect ratio - no excuse...

I would've added an auxiliary tender to go with the engine, just so it would last longer in the outback But that's just my opinion

One day, when we have a 300kph+ High speed rail service between Melbourne and Sydney, it should be called the "Spirit of progress".

The bloke at 1:31 was like “wtf did I just witnessed”

It's a crying shame that all S classes were scrapped

Love the s class steam locos

The theme music from "Things to come" is apt.

Great video. Awesome driver 👍

We don't know how to do this anymore

Is the A70 still at the Newport workshop/museum?

How much money would is cost to build another one?

May I use your footage fron an up comming video, I like most likely will use the entire video however alot of it will be blured in the background of photos?

When I was a kid, Mum and I did a return journey to Sydney. Fantastic for a child. Still impressive in 2023. the Albury gauge change to 'standard gauge' was accepted as a 'must do' in that era.

Back when VIC had something to be proud of.

I wonder what Sir Harold Klapp and everyone else involved in the existence of this beautiful train would say if they knew that she now spends the bulk of her time locked away in sheds! What an insult to them and to her! Get her back out on the track!!!!

Where did it all go wrong now we dilapidated locomotives and trains

I agree that that it was a travesty that these 4 magnificent locomotives were scrapped before any preservation society’s had as opportunity to preserve them. Even without there cladding they were a fine looking locomotive.🇦🇺

Which lens was this shot with? Nice job mate

Good video!

Rip Spirit of progress 😢

You selfish, selfish company. You are letting this whistle off from 9am on both Saturday and Sunday and, on Saturday, repeated it at 20minute intervals throughout the day. It is so loud, it can be heard through double-glazed doors and windows and, when you are outside at Southbank, you can't hear another person talk. It upsets pets, disgustingly disregards shiftworkers and ignores the huge residential population in Melbourne city. Your disregard for those of us who live in the City and surrounds and who might actually need some rest on the weekends is abhorrent. Disgusting organisation.

What a shame the aspect ratio is broken.

How about a newbuilt from the fraagments?

👍🙏🙏

This is what they took from you

When I travelled on the Southern Aurora in 1978, the dining car staff wore the white uniforms with the VR wings. There were not too many photos or movies of the streamlined S class. One gem was a photo of the front doors open revealing the smokebox door of the S class. The streamlined shell was a sign of the times, the S class was a handsome looking loco in it’s own right. I wonder at how much weight the shell added.

Bouncing around from 13:15. WOW!!!

Super action

Thank You for posting this. When I heard this was happening, I was sad I couldn't see it. I'm glad you were, though.

😃

Am I right assuming this is a northbound movement and happened this evening on the 4th of November 2022?

Great you captured this rare move for us. Did it go to Spencer St or head from Sunshine to Newport as directly as possible?

Pacifique indien

Wow! That’s fantastic!

It's a shame we didn't keep these treasures

Excellent shots

Merval pap

Incredible location and solid vid

Great stuff. :) A shame I didn't have time to chase it too. Had to dart off ahead, but not to stop along the way. :(

Nice video mate. I got a shot of it at Cardinia Road. It sounded very impressive with the B class leading.

Poor firemen, hand shovelling coal for well over 4 hours. I lived at Spotswood for my first 7 years . I loved going down to watch the wrecking area.

In it goes little does it know it’s future Like a lamb to the slaughter if I had enough money I would buy one

What time were you there too?
