@cameronfane1 The grades on the Dwellingup branch are quite steep, W945 doesn't have the power to bring a full train up the hill from Isandra without the help of the two diesel locomotives. They maintain constant radio contact as to not apply too much power and derail.

@@watrainfilms8520 did dose have power

@@watrainfilms8520 you gave it litter bite of power at time the then the steam train will nont have well spines

@@watrainfilms8520 we had steam long before diesel engines we had them for convenience

@@cameronfane1 you'd need two steam engines to make the grades which is what HVR is working on at the moment.

@@WA_transport_films No, it should be alright to keep your name.

there is 7 coming back from northam uncertain

@@rodneybeard4317 , you got any more info?

That, and extra help to get the train up the hill

to get it up the hill but the diesels have slow pick up. speed and in the cold its very hard to start

@bensbins Thanks mate, unfortunately the freight timetable was privatised early this year and moved to an arc infrastructure domain so it's very difficult to access. Only way to get the info would be to know someone with an account or who works in the Railways. Woodbridge is a great spot though and the signals usually tell you when a train is coming.

NO NO NO NO 😭

Haha Gru crew

@@wagrtrains Gru

@@BelllasTrainVlogs indeed

@@wagrtrains indeed indeed

wee had put a fire in the diesels engine to warm it up before starting it its the down side for having one

Not in service

Ok

That was the 2019 Jumperkine collision. It occurred when Pacific National intermodal 7MP5 collided with the rear of 2K66 Watco grain. It was caused by an incapacitated driver and multiple fall safe malfunctions. I'll link the ATSB report here: www.atsb.gov.au/publications/investigation_reports/2019/rair/ro-2019-022

Yeah, I tend to go down south a bit anyway to see family who live down that way.

Thank you! ❤️

Part of Metronet's new additions is a transformation of the Armadale line to raise the track between Victoria Park and Cannington, also upgrading the stations between Victoria Park and Amradale/Thornlie. The upgrade plans to remove the level crossings in the raised section improving safety of the passengers and drivers, both road and rail.The Armadale line is the only line that links up with the freight line at Mundijong jctn and with the line closed, the Australind has no way of accessing Bunbury. Metronet is also upgrading the Australind ADP/ADQ railcars to more modern C-series based railcars. With this change the current railcars have been taken out of service and have been preserved, with ADP102, ADQ121 & ADP103 at HVTR Pinjarra Sheds, ADP101 at the S.W. Heritage centre in Boyanup, and ADQ122 at Bunbury. The shutdown is due to last until late 2025 and Transperth rail replacement buses for the Armadale/Thornlie line will be in use, as well as TransWA coaches to from Bunbury, with one service going via Armadale and Pinjarra, and the other going via the Kwinana Fwy. Hope this helps!

Thank you for all of the detailed information, it's sad that the line will be down so long, but in the long run everything should be better,@@watrainfilms8520

Thanks.

Thanks.

I believe so, yes.

Thank You.

I did some research and found out that the Caustic wagons in question (WAGR JK Class wagons) have a total capacity of 36157 Litres.

@@watrainfilms8520 Thank you for that, I was around 4,000 litres short...

Thanks
