I was in Geelong in 1995 / 96 visiting relatives, we was over from England. Thank you for the memories. Cracking stuff, thought the locomotives would have been refuelled on Geelong shed?.
Geelong loco is broad gauge and the locos here are Standard Gauge. Most SG locos get fuelled at Dynon in Melbourne but as pretty well all SG grain trains bypass it, most are fuelled at Gheringhap.
@@Schony747 yes, I know about that. I travelled on the locomotive hauled services between Geelong - Melbourne. I also travelled on the Sydney - Melbourne XPT Service, travelled regularly on HST's here in England, so had to get a XPT in. At the time, I was only doing 35mm SLR photography, so my stuff is all on slides.
JUST FOR YOUR INFO THAT, road of the loop 2 road is called the ENGINEERS ROAD or siding uses a ANETT KEY FOR ENTRY WITH ADELAIDES PERMISSION OR CENTROL OR Therabouts. they sometimes store locos and track machines there overnight or just for the day Brendan. worked up there heaps of times SafeworkinG.
Thanks for the great memories - this takes me back...33 years for Pac Nat. We used to build/fabricate locomotives in NSW - the 81's I think were built in Bathurst. Do we do that anymore, or just import them? Seems we have lost a lot of technological expertise.
This will give you information on Gheringhap train movements - ghaploop.railpage.org.au/ Facebook groups such as Train Track Victoria or NSW or SA will give sightings as people list then. ARTC have a master timetable as well - www.artc.com.au/customers/operations/mtp/
The Gheringhap Loop website suggests that your excellent video was shot on Wednesday 3 June 2020, not 'Tuesday 2.' Huge plaudits for explaining what each train was in the notes above plus on the video. Some rail videos in Oz and UK fail to do this. With an international audience we can't assume everyone knows "where" each sequence is.
I've changed the focus of my videos to exactly what you've suggested. A train running past the camera is great but gets pretty boring after a while if you don't know what you are looking at. Thanks for watching.
@@Schony747 The change can only help to build your audience numbers, and importantly bring rail enthusiasts (and others) back to your site for future productions. Keep up the terrific work. You are recording dynamic railway history.

Fantastic footage !
Your time and effort is greatly appreciated. Cheers 🍺
Thanks for looking and your contributions
All that in one day? You certainly did well on this occasion Brenden.
Yes very happy with the outcome Alex.

Awesome
Thanks 😀😀
Frigging Hell fire missiles ..that was a long train near the end ... What a locomotive to pull all that load ...amazing .
78 wagons which is nothing unusual on that train to and from Perth.
5 locos in fact

Great info mate. Ill know that for next time.
Awesome!!
Thanks 😀😀
81s and BLs are a might combo! Thanks. Wagga.
Yes with grain going back up your way Jim!
Love the videos 👍🏼🇭🇲
Hi Jen its Robbie i used to work with you at Skilled rail, you still on the rail??
Thanks always 😀😀
When I take the bus home, I’ll usually (1/10 times) see 81/BL/G refueling here
Apparently its a pretty common sight at the moment with the large amount of grain being railed.
Yeah, I've heard that the 81s don't have a large enough tanks to make the trip
Nice presentation!
Thanks Man 😀😀

Yeah locos are still built by Goninan and Downer. So there is still an industry here.
Great video Brendan, I live near there mate can see the down signal from my house
I haven't been there for a number of years and thoroughly enjoyed the day out there.
Well things have certainly changed since I was on the loco, great footage though.
Boxes, more boxes with the odd NR mixed in. You obviously had more variety when you worked on the railway.
Thx mate. Most enjoyable and informative.
Is there a web site where you can find info on freight train movements?
This will give you information on Gheringhap train movements -
ghaploop.railpage.org.au/
Facebook groups such as Train Track Victoria or NSW or SA will give sightings as people list then.
ARTC have a master timetable as well - www.artc.com.au/customers/operations/mtp/
I live 2km from the railway line these trains roar like thunder
They do when the rubber bands wind up.

What camera do you have? it's decent quality!
This is the Sony AX53. I've also used Panasonic. 4k is pretty good
I wonder what the 81s would look like in original NSW indian red and yellow livery colors
Candy livery was always my favourite livery with the 81s
Some of tracks need some work dun on it. With buckling & twisted rail Gee luckily not a derailment here
i didn’t know australian engines have Nathan P5s as horns
Lots do and they are very popular among enthusiasts
What a magnificent day when the P's went past . . .
Yes the highlight of the day!
Thanks for the share.
Hope ARTC don’t like you trespassing
On their property.
I manage to stay away from the danger area. I like to keep qma low profile.
What would be the fuel economy on theses diesel engines and capacity of the tanks please thank you
Hi Jennifer, these trains use around 1/3 of the fuel equivalent trucks do. Cheers
@@andrewhenderson7422 Thank you 👍🏼😃

8130 & 81788 was on real dodgy track :) As an engineer my heart would be hanging out of my mouth :( Hence the speed.

Thanks 😀😀
How do SCT Logistics Trains run late, like seriously come on, every video I watch, it’s always the same.
It was early Thursday and got held at Pyrenees Loop!
Never seen so much graffiti
You get used to it on grain trains as the rakes spend so much time sitting around.
