    Its the end of the line for V/Line locomotive hauled commuter trains on Bacchus-Marsh Line. #N459 and #N473 lead the last locomotive hauled commuter train on the Bacchus-Marsh Line before the self propelled cars take over the line. It would be nice to see the H sets get donated to Steamrail Victoria.

    My only comment is not on your video, but the subject. The rolling stock appears to be clean but the loco not so much, a pity for the last loco hauled to Bacchus Marsh.

      Two sets are being stripped of parts, while three sets are stored at Echuca, another is soon to go up there for storage also.
      While the SLH sets will remain for Geelong services.

    So the residents of Crapphus Marsh took a steaming dump on the tracks as the N class was approaching the station. Unfortunately it had to retire hurt, I mean rally hurt. 😅😅

    Doesn’t surprise me that a glorified commuter train is being put on nearly all lines on the damn network.
    Could have just design and then build new locomotives and carriages, instead of building more of the same glorified commuter train…but nope, they went cheap!
    Also nice video btw Pannier 😉

    • @mjcats2011
      @mjcats2011 7 месяцев назад

      For Bacchus Marsh and Melton services have locos and carriages. Why? Because of locos and carriages will have much poorer acceleration far fewer trains can be run. All stations services to Melton and Bacchus Marsh would be horrendous.
      Hell, Melton services should not be DMU's let alone Loco hauled. They should be EMU's using the Metro tunnel, likewise Wyndhamvale services.

      @@matthewdempsey6583 Really? The Hitachis are flimsy cheaply built trains. Glad they are gone. If they had not built velocities the DOT would have probably rebuilt the Hitachis as unpowered carriages pulled by underpowered locos such as the P Class. I am so glad they scrapped the Hitachis.
