"For many types of switch, a train coming from either of the converging directions will pass through the switch regardless of the position of the points, as the vehicle's wheels will force the points to move. Passage through a switch in this direction is known as a trailing-point movement and switches that allow this type of movement are called trailable switches.[1]" so im guessing this is what is happening here! i hope lol

I have watched the Perth to Sydney, Indian Pacific 4,352km about 2,704m journey, and the Ghan, from Adelaide to Darwin both on SBS (one of our broadcasters here). I loved 'em. Each went all day so not all the journey for the IP but the Ghan was complete.

      The track is actually not to bad. The stations would need platforms built from scratch. The track speed is 80kph and rides well at that speed. Time will tell if a service is to be provided across here. Thanks for watching 👍 😊

    @driver667 I have a question wondering if you can help me I've been doing my research for a while now and been studying on becoming a vline train driver and I just wanted to ask do vline prefer older more experienced people like in the workforce or younger people say fresh out of high school Tafe or Uni and would you need a prior certificate in train driving before you apply or do they train you to obtain the certificate (very determined to drive trains)

    • @driver667

      There is no preference for age or any experience in the rail industry. Just apply. There is a lot of competition to get a position but just give it your best shot. 👍😄
