I remember in the early 1980s the red hens rail cars. It was a fight to sit by the doors. Back then sometimes the doors were left open. Plus the smell of them too. Great share and thank you.
When I was a kid traveling home from Adelaide with my parents, I was lucky enough to be allowed the drive the train we were on most of the way back home.. 😊 Also it was the 2000 series railcars that replaced the Red hens, before the 2000 series were replaced by the 3000 series.. Anyway awesome video.. 😊
Great stuff! As always, superbly filmed and edited. Just a small point...I believe that the Red Hens were replaced by the 2000 class railcars (Jumbo's). The 3000 class railcars in use currently replaced the Jumbos. Keep up the great work!
3:50, the driver seems to be standing up. is that how these were operated? how thoughtless of management. like the older melbourne trams. i suppose having no seat is a bit of a vigilance device. if the driver falls asleep he falls over.
The driver is sitting down. He's the one on the other side of the train with the blind almost down. The other man in the orange hi-vis is in the passenger side. When these trains were in regular use on the suburban network, the front of the train was the best spot to be for the passenger. Not only could you see what was in front, you could also watch the driver run the train as it was common for the cab door to be open. Sadly, this is no longer the case as the cab is now closed off to the public and the window that used to exist is now frosted over. Learned a lot about how these trains worked by watching the driver.
@@barltrops ,i just found your reply. dad drove trains and as a way to get us 2 kids to go to church we got the privilege of riding up front in the cab with him in red vr trains. excellent fun. we still wagged church. they gave up forcing us to go to church.
Great video and sound. You did well to capture the sound of the waves crashing on the shore as the train came past.
Amazing! Beautiful video! Greetings 🚂🔝📽️👍👋

Great video guys. I really enjoyed it. :D
3.20 The railcars were actually replaced by the 2000 class Jumbo Railcars, then the 3000 came into use to work with the 2000 railcars.
Superb work once again, the new camera is awesome. Favorite scene was the Afghan express at 4:33 followed by 507 departing Goolwa 7:55
Great video!
08:50 - 09:55 in the video that’s a great spot, I was several metres up the track when I filmed 507 on Steamranger’s first weekend back.
Great video mate love you got the peanut whistle on Peronne the T class version but it sounded. Well done on donating everything helps
