    Thankyou. Great to see from your perspective. The independent freight line tunnel is amazing. Always fascinated me.

    [ x ] Another interesting ride! Thanks for sharing. Forgive my ignorance, please ... that's a dual gauge, standard and wide? [Greetings from Tucson]

    • @driver667
      @driver667  8 месяцев назад

      Standard gauge (4' 8.5") for the interstate network and Broad gauge (5' 3") for the state network. Glad you enjoyed the ride 👍 😀

    Thanks for this one, another piece of the missing link.
    Drawing a long bow here..... is there any chance of Eucha to Toolamba? (I'm, a hopeless tragic of unknown or mis understood lines.)

      Toolamba Echuca does not see trains at the moment. The future may be different. It is on my list of wants. Glad you enjoyed the ride 👍😀

    Cool:) love the old VRs and also I have a video suggestion to make a whistle/Horn compilation it would be awesome and I have a lot of friends that like trains like me so I will be telling about this channel cuz you deserve more subs. I respect what you do to make these videos. Thanks:)

    What do the L and M route indicators mean at the Dynon yard exit around 09:30?
    Also, that Y junction flyover onto the Newport-Sunshine line at 18:00 must produce some great photography! :)
