Several years old.. Before 3 level crossing removals..2020 footage? Have you got pre Carrum crossing removal video? Recording Video Date and Time would be interesting to note.. Without date, it is assumed this is recent. .when it is not.
The attached playlist should make it much easier to find era you want. As for the date, a recent crackdown on rules has made it desirable for the date of the recording to be as vague as practical. Melbourne - Driver's View Trains ruclips.net/p/PLLtOIHp49XNDtaNr2H41P2th0S56s6bIH
Some locations to blow whistles are mandated by a whistle board, the white X on a post. It’s also advisable to blow a whistle at a station where trains normally stop, but this one didn’t. The driver is familiar with the line so he probably is taking precautions at spots where he has had near misses in the past. Personally I think the whistle boards for level crossings are much too far away to be of any use.
As I have said to others, I am rapidly running out of lines to cover and the choices are either high-speed or nothing. Most viewers apparently don’t have much time to watch half an hour or more of a line, so at high-speed they can see the entire line in a short space of time. Don’t watch it if you don’t like it.
@@tressteleg1 For years we've had GM locos here in NZ with Leslie SuperTyfon horns which are excellent. When they decided to buy new locos from China some years ago they came fitted with awful squeaky horns which remain to this day.
While the American steam whistles are what we think of as from river boats, the Europeans use very high pitched PEEEEP whistles, and I suppose that is what China may have copied for your locos. Australia, and maybe previously in NZ, a pitch between those 2 extremes was chosen.
Love these. Watched part 1 3 times Part 2 twice. Thank You.
You must know the line pretty well by now!!😊
Always wonderful watching the night runs! Brings a whole new perspective to the rail network
See my reply to Adx666 😊
Smart work by the way as well!😁
😊👍
Nice video! It would be good if you had some HCMT drivers view footage , even just a small clip of the sounds and the horn.
I will have to see if my driver has any footage next time I go to Melbourne. I don’t know if all drivers have been trained for them yet.
Good one, interesting ride. Cheers.
😊👍
Interesting video. Nice speed after slow zone. Thanks Tresseleg1😀💚
😊👍
I love the night time videos
I may have some more night runs on file but some have an awful lot of only track and just darkness on the sides - no other scenery.

@@tressteleg1 Thanks. I'll check out your playlist. Understand why you didn't note date now, Cheers for the upload.
Don’t stay up all night watching them all!!!

You finally managed to overtake the old lady with the walking frame.

Why blast the horn so many times at each crossing? Only need the two like we usually do.

That must be late no traffic on the highway
Or rather early…
Excellent nightvideo 👍🏻
😊👍👍
Those horns are awful. Sound like a strangled cat! Great video though, thank you for taking the time to record and upload : )
Prior to the modern and uninspiring Trains, all Melbourne horns sounded like that. Most certainly were distinctive!

Rip old RVB horns
@@Astbaston Yes, all because somebody complained they were too loud, but test found they were too soft!
