English - One of the very last daylight broad gauge runs of train 9102 between Maryborough and Ballarat. The broad gauge fruity originated from the temporary location of Manangatang and from the middle of march 2018 when this line is converted to standard gauge, train 9102 will revert back to it's original run to and from Mildura on the newly converted standard gauge track. The train is viewed between various locations between Maryborough and Warrenheip Loop where the train then continued onto Melbourne via Geelong. It was great to see two XR locomotives leading the train which had a mixed bag of the usual containers and liquids and some grain wagons up front which would have been dropped off at Geelong. Locomotives - XR557 XR553 and G539. Various locations for the train are listed below.
00:30 - Tullaroop Road Maryborough
06:06 - Behind Goldfields Reservoir Maryborough
11:00 - Between Talbot and Clunes (Clunes Evansford Road)
13:10 - Tourello
15:26 - Frasers Road Invermay
16:55 - Ballarat Station
19:31 - Warrenheip
Filmed March 2nd 2018.

Thanks Schony... superb as always.

Nice clip, Schony, some very shiny rails, north of Ballarat and some very long consists, from Manangatang. Thanks.

@Schony747 6 лет назад

Thanks. These grain was a real bonus. The 9102 on the Wednesday which has to be one of the last will have the same combination. This weekend look out for coverage from Manangatang itself.

@DERAILER83 3 года назад

what camera do you use it is amazing quality even when zoomed in?

@Schony747 3 года назад

Sony AX53 which is a really good camera.

@johnblood3367 3 года назад

2 questions, how many wagons was it towing? I lost count at 40, an what is in those " Pal Tank" wagons?

@Schony747 3 года назад

Probably 40 but I'm not 100% sure. Tanks are carrying wine from the Sunraysia region for export from what I was told when I asked the question a while ago.

@RailTownProductions 3 года назад

What was the length by chance?

@Schony747 3 года назад

Not 100% sure but I'm guessing 1100 metres as the crossing loops can't accommodate much more than that.

@lachlantrainvideos 4 года назад

Was the front part grain from Yelta which runs as required or was that just PN getting their stuff out before the gauge conversion?

@Schony747 4 года назад

I'm not sure where the grain originated from. Either way it was a regular runner up.front.

@AndreiTupolev 6 лет назад

Amazing view at 6:00. I suppose the lens exaggerates the gradient, but that must be quite a challenge for the drivers balancing throttle and brake with the front of the train going downhill while the rest is still going uphill.

@Schony747 6 лет назад

The lense does exaggerate but the grade is still pretty steep especially as the train departs Maryborough station.

@matthewdempsey6583 6 лет назад

ok cool keep up the good videos

@Schony747 6 лет назад

+matthew dempsey Thanks Matthew and your comments are always welcome 😃😃

@graemewhite8463 6 лет назад

Great video Brendan , lucky i didn`t go to Llanelly it must of been thru there well ahead of time .

@Schony747 6 лет назад

+Graeme White It was well ahead of time. I nearly diverted to Dunolly and am so glad I didn't.

@jimcrawford5039 6 лет назад

Is the Maryborough - Ballarat - Geelong line being converted? Great vid. By the way! Riverina.

@Schony747 6 лет назад

Sorry it's taken so long to answer but the short answer is yes. They need to sort out if it will be dual gauge or SG on it's own.

@jimcrawford5039 6 лет назад

Thank you Schony 747. Riverina, NSW.

@jimcrawford5039 6 лет назад

Forgot to say, your vids are greatly appreciated! Regards.

@harleystrainchannel78 3 года назад

@@Schony747 so they will convert the Gheringhap Broad gauge line to standard gauge or dual gauge?

@Schony747 3 года назад

Not likely. BG is staying now.

@Matt_57 6 лет назад

After there's no more BG trains between Mary bough and Ballarat were do they go?

@Schony747 6 лет назад

The new standard gauge section between Maryborough and Ararat and then onto the current western SG towards Geelong and Melbourne

@Matt_57 6 лет назад

Schony747 ok thanks

@GarySanson 6 лет назад

what will happen to all the broad gauge locomotives and rolling stock. Also I don't understand why Australia has so many different rail gauges

@Schony747 6 лет назад

The different gauges goes back to the old colonial times before Federation in 1901. I suppose every state had their own ideas and didn't want the different states competing against their own railways. As for the rolling stock, I'm not 100% sure but I can only assume some will be converted to SG and others will be used on BG while reiting older locos such as X43 and X44.

@MYVP. 6 лет назад

Are most of the broad gauge lines being converted to standard?

@Schony747 6 лет назад

A part of the Murray Basin Rail Project. Better track conditions and higher axle loads and better compatability to other standard gauge trains.

@steamingeagle7552 6 лет назад

damm it why do i keep missing these

@Schony747 6 лет назад

It runs three times a week. Wednesday and Friday it runs through Ballarat around the 930am path.

@hazptmedia 6 лет назад

Why is the train called fruity

@Schony747 6 лет назад

It normally originates from Mildura and much of the train load is fruit, wine and other related food from the Mildura region for export. That's where it gets it's name from.

@hazptmedia 6 лет назад

@matthewdempsey6583 6 лет назад

i think they forgot to use there sanders to get traction

@tobys_transport_videos 6 лет назад

No loss of traction here, I can assure of that! I photographed it at Ballarat East then raced up to Warrenheip to do a video scene. I was standing beside @Schony747 when the last scene was recorded. What you can hear is the sound of the flanges on the wheels squealing against the rails.
