    As a Sydneysider, it makes me happy to see people able to access the rail corridor without being treated like a terrorist! And no one was being stupid either.

      It's good to see a good turn out and everyone being sensible and enjoying them selves. Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😊

    Makes me happy to see so many people turn out and stand by the tracks at various places and platforms to see it steam by.

    I don't know exactly why, but I was fascinated hearing the wheels rolling over switches and crossings, and the sound it made. It made me feel much more connected to the journey.

    6:21 several years ago I walked the old route to Mont Park, still a lot of evidence exactly where the line ran if you walk through the Cherry St grassland reserve, a mate had an old roadways from the late 1950s that showed the original line going up to Mont Park, I think it was closed off in the early '60s, I lived in Macleod for 20 years just opposite the footy oval there so used to do a bit of exploring.

    • @driver667
      @driver667  7 месяцев назад +1

      I haven't visited there for a few years now but, yes there was a bit to see along there. There are still some relics around the system if you look hard enough to give a hint of times past. 👍😊

    stacks of ppl watching...Rosanna and Macleod were popular. Thanks for the vids in this series. i went and looked up the history of the 'K' class here in Oz...very impressive! Interesting about the crowds as when the trip started not many about - not like the crowded platforms - social media influence?

      The Hurstbridge line is very old school, the line between Clifton Hill & Westgarth was only duplicated within the last 20 years or so!

      @driver667  10 месяцев назад

    With these push/pull trains how much power comes from the push engine? Like when the throttle was opened a bit how exhaust note changed, sounded like there was a lot of coasting.

    • @driver667
      @driver667  10 месяцев назад

      The engine at the rear usually just assists when required but can apply a lot of effort if they decide 👍😊
