What an incredible video. Perfect angle ( most cab rides just focus onto the track. I love seeing what the drivers doing. Awesome video. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for your kind comments, glad you enjoyed it. The drivers like all staff on the railway were great 👍🏼

@@tbroyd I would LOVE to have a driver experience day on the HST. Would be literally a childhood dream come true. Money’s no object. I’d happily pay. But I expect I’d have to join a few very long queue. Haha

Wow, would have loved that Marto, 👍👍👍👍👍

9:02 I'm pretty sure the driving manual for the class 43 hst says the driver shouldn't go straight from notched power to off but to wait 5 second, something about letting the amps drop completely before moving from notch 1 to off.
Would love to ride in the cab of a hst, my favourite train!
