Another great ride, thanks for sharing. I did the N class service a couple of months before they were replaced with the Vlocity. Was a great day outing.
It would be nice to run it with an N class again for old times sake. Glad you enjoyed your ride behind the N class back then. 👍😀
Thank you once again, great ride and view. My temp this morning is 45 F and feels like 33 F with the wind blowing .
Make sure you stay rugged up, brrrrr. 😀👍🐈🐈
Nice way to wake up on a Sunday morning. Was the Echuca line closed for any particular reason, or was it just undergoing some normal maintenance?
Well, its light out now so back to cutting firewood. 😁
The line to Echuca from Toolamba is currently booked out of use. It requires work to bring it up to standard. 👍😀
@@driver667 Thank you. Knowledge is power so now i am mighty. 💪😆
@@martythemartian99 good job 😀👍
Great trip as always. The loop at Mooroopna didn't have as many signals as I expected. I presume this line is controlled by CTC maybe from Seymour?
All the signals on the Shepparton line are controlled from Centrol in Melbourne apart from the signals at Seymour which still has a signalman. Seymour to Shepparton is still train orders for the moment but going to ATC. Mooroopna is having signals installed as is Toolamba. Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😀
@@driver667 Signals at Toolamba for the Toolamba - Echuca line?
@@JacobGrimaR761 yes 👍😀
@@driver667 So it is reopening as I've heard rumours??
@@callumbinyon723 yes, I am told it will. 👍😀
13:30 farewell Toolamba-Echuca line
Toolamba-Echuca is not closed 👍😀
@@driver667 it is. It was closed in early 2020, due to track faults
At 13:37 you can see the barriers
G'day,thanks for the ride, great country side and a very productive area of Victoria l remember when a lot of trains carried tin fruit from Shepp down to Melbourne and beyond most go's by road now around the Shepp station was very interesting back then, cheers mate, Neil 🤠.
@@tomhenry6440 it's not closed. It's booked out of service and is still patrolled by vline. You will notice the brand new points that have just been installed at Toolamba to access the line. 👍😀
15:09 of course there's a car next to the track in the middle of nowhere.
Yes, it's been there for quite a while. A remote spot. 👍😀
If you drive the volocities then do you also drive the steam engines
No, I don't drive steam locomotives, only diesel locomotives and railcars 👍😀
Oh my Goodness Looks like you had your Camera Filming the Whole Trip outside on the VLocity's Drivers Window or you must've had the Window Open through the Whole Trip, I don't know I might be wrong to be Honest.?
It's a good picture. 👍 😀
That's a long TSR...😮
It certainly is. 👍😀
i think i am due for a trip to wangaratta and benalla i wont bother seymour because there's nothing there
There are a lot of works going on at the moment in Wangaratta and Benalla. Seymour has the preservation centre. Enjoy your trip 👍😀
