This is wonderful. You have photographed this so very very good. Little Alfred - who is 2 years old - is besides himself, he just loves trains, and cannot get enough of this...:-) He usually prefers the pure steam trains videos, but this captured him totally, I guess it's the exciting way in which you shoot the trains; first the arrival and then following the train with all it's wagons...
Best S.A vid i've seen. When the freights come into Adelaide from the north on standard guage, they have to give way to the Port Adelaide passenger service. They sometimes take up to fifteen minutes to clear the Hawker Street crossing. The engines are half a mile up the track with twenty freight cars remaining to cross. This has only happened since standard guage. No problem to me, I love the trains. And will be very sad when we lose broad guage.
I love the G&W locos. We see the mix of nice orange Portland and Western (A G&W road name) livery and some nasty looking patches here in Portland, Oregon too, We have one here that looks like it was dug from a burning salvage yard but it still goes.
I am from the USA, and I find Australian trains very interesting. I see like the container trains in this video. I see a lot of the same one when I go out to watch trains.
no. There is regular snow in tasmanis and NSW too, and ACT. Even WA gets snow pretty much every year ona mountain, and SA gets snow occasionally. And no doubt a bit in queensland too.
Its Genesee & Wyoming, headquartered in Darien, CT, and they have an Australian counterpart, One Rail Australia founded by themselves, they own shortlines and class IIs along America
Well done. Pity you do not use the Annotations feature in Video Manager to tell us the time and place and other information about each of these trains. (I tend to go over-board with my comments.) Because of the rugged terrain in the Adelaide Hills & long distances to interesting locations there are many visuals that I have wanted to see that you have put into this video. Fascinating to see 4 locomotives being used to hawl loads through the steeper and winding sections of track. I looks like you have some Broad Gauge freight trains in the Barossa Valley - Penrice line. Now since ceased operation because of the closure of the factory at Port Adelaide and not need for the limestone.
guess there isn't really any mixed or "manifest" freight trains over there? locals working various industries along branch lines? seems any video I find is only intermodal, or bulk commodity
Why do so many of the freight trains have a single coach behind the locomotives? Mixed train? Or, is it where a replacement crew rides? Don't ever see such an arrangement here in the states.
Well there was something a a boom with private haulage and power leasing companies, and those old locomotives sill worked pretty well so companies like CRL, GWA and CFCL snapped them up. Plus the CL class locos in this video were built in the 70s. They look like they're from the 50s because of the EMD bulldog nose.
The compilation is worth appreciation

Fantastic video, best regards from Spain to all Australian Rail fan.
A second crew travel in the coach when long distance is involved when they travel from Adelaide to Perth. (2,600km or 1600miles)
Thanks for a very good video. the view was something else on wide screen. the country side was awesome. thanks

Cool collection of trains
I saw a lot of ARG and Pacific National trains at Bomaderry RWS. F class, 81 class, L class and a few others. Very nice :)
15 estupendos minutos. Muchas gracias.
Interesting line up of trains and well done on the video techniques.
Excellent compilation.
awesome footage of Aussie trains, thanks for sharing!
***** ???
Great video!!!...Makes me want to go to Australia right now!
When travelling to and from Perth, crew cars are added with another crew onboard and rotate during the journey.
I love watching trains!
Nice video love those SGT trains thanks for letting me see the Southern spirit looks beautiful
Great video !
A nice compilation of trains.
The color schemes are getting better 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Awesome compilation!! Love the sound of big scary diesl engines and look of old industrial trains =)
I love the G&W locos. We see the mix of nice orange Portland and Western (A G&W road name) livery and some nasty looking patches here in Portland, Oregon too, We have one here that looks like it was dug from a burning salvage yard but it still goes.
Great video!! I'll have to come to this spot when I come up ffrom Vic! Thanks for sharing

Nice movie ! Beautiful places. I'd like to be there.
That Mt. Lofty looks like a beatutiful spot. I'd like to spend a few days there.
Congratulations fantastic shots😊😊
Excellent.
Makes sense, thanks.
amazing you filmed all these trains in sth aus did not think they had that many good show
...very nice video.....
great video
It only snows in the Snowy Mountains in Northern Victoria
no. There is regular snow in tasmanis and NSW too, and ACT. Even WA gets snow pretty much every year ona mountain, and SA gets snow occasionally. And no doubt a bit in queensland too.
Nice Leslie horn at 11:11
very cool!
many interesting trains
7:02 NR 85 sounded like a XR class in victoria
Some interesting looking locos there. has the second unit @ 7:55 had the cab plated over? Mt. Lofty looks a very picturescque station.
7:43 what paint scheme is that? I’ve seen it over here in America. Also why is the aspect ratio so weird?
Its Genesee & Wyoming, headquartered in Darien, CT, and they have an Australian counterpart, One Rail Australia founded by themselves, they own shortlines and class IIs along America
Nice!
Great video :-) LIKE!
nice!!!
Where were these recorded?
Is the Southern Spirit a new trip? I've been on The Ghan, and I know about The Overland and The Indian Pacific, but has GSR made another route?
K Line is in USA too!
Hmm cool!
Aiden Teszke A
Wasn't running while I was in South Australia
Is the passenger car for crew exchanges or for some-sort of limited long-distance service?
Why didn't you film the steam ranger?
@cooky2304 What do white markers do?
I'm the same as you. Would love to tour the USA and photograph the railroads over their but just need to win the lottery first.
Well done. Pity you do not use the Annotations feature in Video Manager to tell us the time and place and other information about each of these trains. (I tend to go over-board with my comments.)

Is that snow at 10:17? I live in Australia and I've only seen snow in the Snowy Mountains in NSW
nah, just rain. Lol this is rural SA, never get close to snow there.
Fab-u-luss!
Why do so many of the freight trains have a single coach behind the locomotives? Mixed train? Or, is it where a replacement crew rides? Don't ever see such an arrangement here in the states.
Why did the pn loco @147 have a passenger carriage
9:47 the pacific national train had no logo
Shifting Cargo thats Life.
what kind of engine is at 3:30?
First time seeing cars on a train
@nathanrjf
That is why this video is a Compilation.
20sec clips of all the trains I saw that week.
My other videos are full length.
Fully capturing the passenger trains would've wise
Are the passenger trains owned by the government, or are the run by businesses? Here in the US, Amtrak is owned by the government.
Funny how no one mentions the passenger coach behind the locos. Guess what that's for folks ???
A lot of the freight trains had a single passenger car right behind the locomotives. Is this for crew members, or some other purpose?
could be for either, could be for crew members, could be for passengers
they're called crew cabs and yes they are for the crew. not privatised passenger coaches
If the southern spirit NR travels in the eastern and Southern States then what is it doing in Western Australia? 😮
Marty Prux When the Southern Spirit passenger train is not running, the locos are used on the freight services.
Was it snowing @ 10:21? It snows in Australia?
Nope, that was just rain. There is a lot of snow in Australia, but never in the location that clip was filmed.
Na the road runs alongside the line, truck had just come out of a vineyard.
(#^∀^#)長い貨物列車は大迫力ですね
Did someone drop the 1950's on their rail system? why do they have so many old trains?
Well there was something a a boom with private haulage and power leasing companies, and those old locomotives sill worked pretty well so companies like CRL, GWA and CFCL snapped them up.
Plus the CL class locos in this video were built in the 70s. They look like they're from the 50s because of the EMD bulldog nose.
Because awesome!!
..would've been wise
So slow compared to European trains.
+Joseph Dunn These sound better than European trains.
ShmotzGaming Debatable
Joseph Dunn I haven't heard any good sounding European trains that didn't consist of export model American locomotives.
thats because europe is ahead of australia in everything by 20 odd years!
Australia is as big as the whole of Europe. We have large trains travelling long distances. Speed is not the most important criteria. Range is.

Boring
Da same locomotive again n again!
this aint boring. this is some of the best
then piss off
Jed Nagel why should I? Lol
because obviously you don't like the video.
Jed Nagel Grow up this is RUclips if things suck we speak about it. it's called 'opinion' & 'freedom of speech'.
