707 ops Grainlander To Sea Lake return

The 13/8/2023 Saw the Return of 707 operation's Grainlander Weekender from Sea Lake run.
for the return run &61 would lead the charge with A66 and A62 providing assistance on the train.
Due to an issue with R707 that could not be dealt with intime for the Weekender SRV's R761 was arranged to head out for the Grainlander instead of 707.
The Video starts at Invermay, just north of Ballarat. where the train rolls by, then onto Invermay park, where after a brief stop, the train would continue on into Ballarat where a stop would be made to allow for Crewing arrangements to be done before beginning the last Leg of the Run home.
the first shop of the last leg would see the train Blitz up Warrenheip bank before moving onto Ballan where the train cruses by.
the next location sees the train stopped at Bank Box loop, where due to it's late running the planned cross at Parwan was moved to Bank box. After a pair of Vline trains pass by, the the R leads the charge out of the loop and onto the Main for a Express run into Melbourne.
Due to the topography of the area around Bacchus Marsh. a shot of the train was also captured at Bull Farm Curves just outside of Bacchus Marsh.
the Last Shot sees the train appear out from North Melbourne station as it runs across the suburban lines into Southern cross.
