The Warrnambool One of the Last Loco Hauled Passenger Trains

Locomotive hauled passenger trains in Victoria Australia are being replaced by diesel multiple units and the service to the coastal city of Warrnambool is one of the last and is due to be replaced in 2024 . All footage was taken at Warrnambool from both track side and from the air

I might go back to warrnambool to film some n class, or maybe just go to my home vline station down my main road that serves Geelong and Ballarat lines.

Get them before they go

Excellent video, particularly the drone footage which includes wider views of the surrounding area. Do you know if the Swan Hill service still loco hauled, or has that now been taken over by Vlocity units?

[@johnphillips592]

At the moment the Swan Hill service is still loco hauled and looks like being the last to do so

[@distantscot945]

Thanks for that.

the Warrnambool freight is a forgotten service considering it doesn't pass on the Up Geelong until 10pm and pass on the down at 4 am so people don't really wait for it as much

[@johnphillips592]

I was lucky do get it arriving , thanks for the comment

[@STYtrainspotter2007]

@@johnphillips592 yeah it normally gets in at 6-7 am in the morning

[@terryirons1966]

How many crew are on the N class?......... I can only see a driver in these views .

[@johnphillips592]

They are single person operated
