Thanks the camera used for this is a fantastic unit when it comes to smoothing out the bumps. It is also very small and sits nicely on a tripod that straddles the centre console in the SUV.
The GE AC6000's are one of my favorite GE locomotives out of all other GE's don't care what anybody says even SD70ace's don't have nothing on those big beast!!!
See you've been to the West again Rod!!,great pacing shot, that service road is smoother than a lot of the highways!!. Deep pockets can get you some nice trackwork ,can't they!!
The video looks like it is the Cowra - Gidgi area. Has some fond memories as I was involved in the duplication of this line a couple of years ago. I think the movement of the bogie on the AC6000 is a good indication of why BHPB did not go for steerable bogies on the SD70ACe's. With a main line radius of 900m minimum there is perhaps little benefit in terms of steerable bogies anyway....
nomames we que video tan mas perron we chingon chingon super chingon excelente como me gustan esos trenes Australianos chida esa persecucion la neta compa ay te van no 5 sino 10* y te sigo deviendo estrellas y a favoritos Saludos amigo desde Guadalajara Jalisco Mexico
a y se me olvidaba se ve de maravilla como se mueven los Trucks de la maquina Remota 6077 la neta me la jale con tu video compa jajajajajajajaja perrisimo de los mejores videos que he visto
That is my #2 camera usually used for shots not requiring any manipulation of controls. It is a SONY HDR CX700VE. A good unit but too small for my maulers.
That really was a smooth video! My pacing videos can only aspire to be this nice. I did just get a new HD camera that'll hopefully be steadier than my old one. And excellent work on catching the hunting of that GE's truck. Just kind of makes one wish there had been a GoPro camera mounted on the engine frame or fuel tank shooting that action up close. All that, and great audio too! 2 thumbs up from me.
The British 66 class is an EMD and they are now also being used on the continent. The small loading gauge in the UK and Europe determines that there will never be any US style monsters running there.
Wow great australia is using some of the locomotives we use here in the United States! hah awesome you should come to the usa and railfan! tons of trains!! haha anyways great video!!!
That's a helluva right of way! almost looks fake. Amazing how steady the whole train is, except for that wobbly truck on the GE unit! How fast was the train going?
I was super drunk last night and I meant decimal form not decimate. Australians and us Canadians seem to always utilise both Metric and Imperial measurements. We normally use km for long distance, mph or kmph for speed, meters over yards, feet and inches over centimeters and millimeters. Although when anything has to be precisely measured I find we always use the more accurate Metric system.
You sure aint upsetting me but I strongly suggest that you have your eyes tested or figure out what's wrong with your monitor. My early HD vids were shot interlaced which doesn't do so well when rendered to wmv for computer viewing. The last couple of years I shot progressive and I saw a big improvement. That aside after almost 13,000,000 views you are the first to raise the issue so I respectfully suggest that the problem is at your end.
Thanks and doing the equation 1km is 5/8 of 1 mile and in reverse 8/5 of 1 is 1.6. I was educated during the metric changeover in Australia and am happy dealing with metric or imperial or even the US version of a ton and no disrespect to you but you really need to look up the meaning of decimate as it has no relationship to decimal, metric or anything else mathematical.
Did you use image stabilisation on that Rod because the train is rock-steady but your 4WD is clearly moving around quite a bit. Also I wonder if that AC6000 is still rated @ 6000 HP.
I know that the majority of the big GE's y'all have down there are 6,000 hp, but what about the EMD's ?? any SD90mAC's with the 265H prime mover ?? p.s. love your vids, you seem to be the authority on 'down under' railfanning.
Rod, is that a fair comparison between the two bogie types? The first set are riding true and steady, the second rocking and rolling like an N Class :) Cheers Rod Young
Yes it is. I didn't know I posted it. Look up a guy named Rod Williams on You-Tube. He has a ton of stuff posted from Australia. Hope your Thanksgiving was a full one.
sadly the railroad is a dying breed in the us...... so much abandoned rail in the north east.. but you should come and check it out either way there is still some great lines to record. id say mostly out by Chicago and that area..
the AC6000s have been replaced by the SD-70 s . They had eight of them , and the high cost of sending them out of the country means they will be scrapped
Holy crap, Batman!! Did you hear those rails 'a singin' '. This has gotta be one of your best. Thanks, Rod.
I don't think I've ever seen track that smooth.
Thanks the camera used for this is a fantastic unit when it comes to smoothing out the bumps. It is also very small and sits nicely on a tripod that straddles the centre console in the SUV.
That GE locomotive trucks are just swinging!
Well done Rod. Great video. Great sounds of the Loco's. Bring on more of the Pilbara Iron Ore Trains.
WOW, Australian Trains Are AWESOME! A lot of American Manufactured Locos too! Like that SD70ACE and The AC6000
The GE AC6000's are one of my favorite GE locomotives out of all other GE's don't care what anybody says even SD70ace's don't have nothing on those big beast!!!
Terrence Goodwin umm they are rusting in the desert these days.
Great vid - that bogie on the loco had got a bot of a shimmy on!
Those beasts are just singing! Very nice
The best video capture of running diesel locomotive I have ever seen.
THANKS YOU for the video.
Saludos from:new York, go aust.
Unfortunately Rod Williams, the guy who made the video, died a few years ago from cancer.
Love that AC6000CW!
helllyea full power hear that 16-HDL roar.
Really a great train video. Thanks. 👍👍👍👍👍
Very nicely done, Sir.
Damn they even have bells on them like here in the states. Amazing how similar they are to our railroads.
the onee time GE and EMD truly work together..
See you've been to the West again Rod!!,great pacing shot, that service road is smoother than a lot of the highways!!. Deep pockets can get you some nice trackwork ,can't they!!
watching the bogies on the GE loco at 3:08 .... wow thats a lot of shaking
Thanks, I was pleased with the end result myself.
Its christmas; what a gift
Michel
The sound of power!
Great footage as usual, Rod.
The video looks like it is the Cowra - Gidgi area. Has some fond memories as I was involved in the duplication of this line a couple of years ago.

That orange and black looks like a ex Mt Newman train from the 70s 80s
amazing sound!!!! Regards from Poland
Gracias amigo.
nomames we que video tan mas perron we chingon chingon super chingon excelente como me gustan esos trenes Australianos chida esa persecucion la neta compa ay te van no 5 sino 10* y te sigo deviendo estrellas y a favoritos Saludos amigo desde Guadalajara Jalisco Mexico
Love Trains
BHP Biliton ore!
muy lindo este video, y el sonido es muy limpio.
Great catch. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Zach!
a y se me olvidaba se ve de maravilla como se mueven los Trucks de la maquina Remota 6077 la neta me la jale con tu video compa jajajajajajajaja perrisimo de los mejores videos que he visto
That is my #2 camera usually used for shots not requiring any manipulation of controls. It is a SONY HDR CX700VE. A good unit but too small for my maulers.
There is roughly one each way per hour and serious consideration is being given to being in the USA next year.
Muito fera amigo!!!!perseguindo o trem em altissima velocidade!!!!Show vídeo foi compartilhado no meu facebook!!!!!!
+Leonardo dos Santos qual é o Facebook?
3:00 , that bogie had a bit of a wobble on.
That really was a smooth video! My pacing videos can only aspire to be this nice. I did just get a new HD camera that'll hopefully be steadier than my old one. And excellent work on catching the hunting of that GE's truck. Just kind of makes one wish there had been a GoPro camera mounted on the engine frame or fuel tank shooting that action up close. All that, and great audio too! 2 thumbs up from me.
nice video! now i wanna go to australia and chase trains :D
G.e.#6077 seems to have a problem with it's rear "truck"its got a "wobble' on the inside outside wheel which is making the truck "wobble"as well
Looks like the left rear truck on the blue loco needs a rebuild. Looks like it has some wobble to it.
The British 66 class is an EMD and they are now also being used on the continent. The small loading gauge in the UK and Europe determines that there will never be any US style monsters running there.
Good day mate! First class railroad you got there. Looks like a good way to spend a day.
Great vid!
The GE has Hunting Oscillation
Wow great australia is using some of the locomotives we use here in the United States! hah awesome you should come to the usa and railfan! tons of trains!! haha anyways great video!!!
That's a helluva right of way! almost looks fake. Amazing how steady the whole train is, except for that wobbly truck on the GE unit!
How fast was the train going?
Muito legal um show a parte ! PARABÉNS
I can only gas that the tanks are air reservoirs and not a clue as to the cars being made in HO but I somehow doubt it.
what are the two blue tanks for on the AC6000?..awesome video and also do u know if anyone is making those ore cars in HO scale?
Air tanks!
The camera has a great stabiliser. No editing required.
RIP 6077
haha man you should come to the usa they have trains like these but probably 60 or 70 in one day some times even more
that equals to 50 ,60, 70 mph nice shots
What kind of bogies are those! They look intense 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
the BHP Iron ore?
That GE is missing a windshield wiper
Very awesome video liked it very much can't wait to see more
It will be missing a lot more than that by now.
Woopty fuckin’ do!
AWESOME
Nice!!

I wonder how far ahead the engines on the point were?
There is a lot of movement in the rear truck (4th axle)of the GE AC 6000,it looks like future trouble to me ?
Thanks and doing the equation 1km is 5/8 of 1 mile and in reverse 8/5 of 1 is 1.6. I was educated during the metric changeover in Australia and am happy dealing with metric or imperial or even the US version of a ton and no disrespect to you but you really need to look up the meaning of decimate as it has no relationship to decimal, metric or anything else mathematical.
Do you remember how fast they are traveling?
Did you use image stabilisation on that Rod because the train is rock-steady but your 4WD is clearly moving around quite a bit. Also I wonder if that AC6000 is still rated @ 6000 HP.
That puppy looked like it was hauling ass. What was it speed?
35 - 45 mph . MPH is 5/8 of KPH
about 60 - 70 kph
I like
How many wagons are connected to the loco???
Anyone know where in Australia this is? Looks like a cool location to shoot trains.
Puget Sound Rail Productions western Australia. Port hedland-newman.
I know that the majority of the big GE's y'all have down there are 6,000 hp, but what about the EMD's ?? any SD90mAC's with the 265H prime mover ?? p.s. love your vids, you seem to be the authority on 'down under' railfanning.
Yea FMG iron ore has ex-UP sd90mac43. I not sure as to how many.
All the ac6000s are scrapped they're crap. No 6000hp emd either, same reason.
Rod, is that a fair comparison between the two bogie types? The first set are riding true and steady, the second rocking and rolling like an N Class :)
Cheers
Rod Young
It's either 224 or 232
and how many trains run this line a day??
That's some epic stabilization! What type of camera do you own?
No mud holes there. Bet the ARTC had nothing to do with laying that track.
About 70km/h
What's the top speed of that railroad?
Very sad AC6000 gone
SD70ACe sending back to USA
How fast were you going? Seems a pretty fast clip.
Definitely all welded rail.
Yes it is. I didn't know I posted it. Look up a guy named Rod Williams on You-Tube. He has a ton of stuff posted from Australia. Hope your Thanksgiving was a full one.
It can get to 50C/112F
*122F
Not certain but I think 70-75km/h
Rod Williams 80
...wow...
sadly the railroad is a dying breed in the us...... so much abandoned rail in the north east.. but you should come and check it out either way there is still some great lines to record. id say mostly out by Chicago and that area..
Not here in The Seattle Tacoma Metropolitan area. railroads continue to Live!
Those are normal rads.
cw60ac sounds so much better
Australia uses a lot of the same stuff north American uses sd70 is a popular loco in the us
the AC6000s have been replaced by the SD-70 s . They had eight of them , and the high cost of sending them out of the country means they will be scrapped
No disrespect, but in decimate its 1.6 km per mile.
I'm not meaning to upset you but most of your vids are blurry which is a shame considering the time and effort you have put into making them.
