In this episode we travel from Melbourne to Traralgon with Steamrail Victoria on the first of three trips with triple K class steam locomotives to celebrate 100 years of the K class Locomotive.
The episode features me and some friends chasing the locomotives to Traralgon, including locomotive K153 (K100) throwing a rod, inside the Traralgon round house and the trip back.

i had the privilege of riding this train, and i must say, standing on the platform at flinders street at 10:30pm at night with a bag of sausage rolls in hand, waiting for my train home is a memory i doubt i'll ever forget.

@WillJamesRailways 2 года назад

Yeah was still a great trip!

I live in the States (California), but I enjoy seeing steam locomotives wherever they are in the world. It looks like the Australian locomotives share both British and American construction characteristics; they look very handsome. Nice to hear that these engines have American-sounding multi-chamber whistles instead of the tiny little British "peep-peep" whistles, which don't really befit the dignity of the British engines. . .

@WillJamesRailways 2 года назад

Great stuff Eric! They certainly do, although these one certainly more English! Haha yes I do agree with you on that! Thank you for watching

Rode the trip. Was sorry for the passengers in my compartment who'd never rode a Steamrail trip before! But I enjoyed it, listening to the climb up Haunted Hills and the radio chatter between drivers during a high-stress moment was eye-opening. Felt like a real journey rather than a day trip, slept on the train and woke up in the same location about 3 times but overall positive memories.

ah that's all part of a heritage trip! Thanks for watching!

@1234mallard 2 года назад

Very cool. Great to see a triple header. In nsw while we have our preserved steam locos, each loco is often the only one in its class restored, so I doubt we would ever get to see something like this.

@WillJamesRailways 2 года назад

Absolutely! That's a good point I guess I never realised, but you do have some outstanding preserved locomotives! Hopefully I can see more of them in the future!

@michaelformaini7053 2 года назад

Fantastic post mortem of a chequered day out which I didn't do 'cos I wanted to watch the AFL Grand Final. I see "Milky" and Adrian featured a bit so I assume "Milky" was driving while you were filming the parallel footage, something you don't always get to appreciate on a chase as you have to watch out for the other *#@*!! motorcaders if you are chasing the train yourself. Watch those little wheels go! Thanks for posting! The wait for this was well worth it. Cheers from Michael.😉

Great video Will. It was not fun being delayed for so long with K100’s (K153) rod to fall off at the Haunted Hills and Herne’s Oak while on the way to Traralgon, but overall was all right and quite a bit of an adventure! I was the dude who said Mr James, wearing a blue jacket and a black cap. But in other words, good video!

@WillJamesRailways 2 года назад

Thanks Nick!

@306champion 3 месяца назад

I would love to have traveled on this train, a grand final couldn't even compete. If I can be a little critical, I would suggest that you play music in keeping with the era! Having said that, it was a great video mate.

That would have been such an amazing event to watch.. still annoyed this all happens over in Victoria, and nothing happens here in WA... no Government support. and only 1 struggling heritage railway... not even allowed to operate mainline tours.. Amyway Great video mate! really made want to move to Vic now lol.

@WillJamesRailways 2 года назад

Thanks! Ah that's so sad to hear how it is in WA!

@Trainanatic 2 года назад

@@WillJamesRailways Well, our rail heritage organization (Rail Heritage WA) has managed to restore 2 steam locomotives and is now restoring GM1. but the downside is the steam locomotives can only tun up and down the museum's yards. 2024 is our only heritages railway's 50th so fingers crossed something amazing happens there. but besides that, not much else.

Great footage once again Will, very nice and I love your commentary, you’re doing great 👍🏻. Also great job giving recognition to the SEC railway, it’s always very nice to see it get some spotlight every now and then. I’m currently building a working scale replica of one of them so the memory of them will not only live on as a static displays at Newport but also an active reminder of the history of the Valley. I run a Facebook page blogging the build of it as all the work building it is done at home. Update: motors and controllers will be bought soon 😁👍🏻

@WillJamesRailways 2 года назад

You must have been right close to me at 14:55 I was on the same foot bridge at Traralgon filming at day. Yes most definitely a very long day for everyone but least we got to see the triple k,s tho. Lovely footage and yes it was my first time chasing a train from Noble Park to Traralgon and back again

Nice video Will. I saw it arrive and then depart Pakenham station. I would of seen the return at Cardinia Road but ended up calling it quits because of how delayed it was. It was nice that SRV allowed you to ride the train back. - Nicholas.

Unfortunately it didn’t run to Seymour, however it did run to Ballarat, although one of the K’s failed in the yard. Which frankly didn’t matter, that was an excellent day out!
