Cab ride an EMD A7 in Australia 

The ticking clock is the mechanical ( clockwork ) Hasler speed recorder.

This is a cool view. Thank you for posting. I get a little nervous with how narrow the right-of-way is, but then remember seeing a video with some street running in 2009. I tell you, if I was driving my car on the street that a frieght was using, I'd be a bundle of nerves, but thrilled at the same time.

I really enjoyed this video, very pretty countyside as well. I love the old round nose Locomotives they have been gone from American railroads for many years now..Cheers. Wayne..

It's an Australian designation. You can Google it for details. It was later changed to A16C.

Thanks Rod.

A very narrow view of it. There's plenty more of it in some of my other videos including the NON railway ones.

great video asusal rod love them

wow, where's this? never seen any rail tracks like that. please in more detail from one Aussie to another ;)

yes, but without looking it up on Wikipedia I had no idea where that is. I also thought you could give some insight on the 'weird' track layout.

Train was running from Sea Lake ( Google map it ) to Melbourne. What's the point of scaring livestock ? We don't blow anything like the US. One day some genius is going to figure out what a total waste of time the whistle really is. With all that racket they make in the US they still hit vehicles at an alarming rate. I have always been of the belief that the whistle should be sounded when it is obviously needed and not as a mandatory requirement. Been driving 34 years and have hit nothing.

@wendyt234 It's all a bit irregular and depends entirely on when there is grain to be shifted.

Cracking video!! 5*

Just grain when there is some. Badly affected by drought at the moment.

Cool video, lovely loco's sounds! Beautiful country. Thanks you Rod! Btw , what the sound in the cabin ? (somethink like clock tick)

Yes.

@InvasorEspacial007 It starts off in Wycheproof

Great video :) What's the location the train passes at 7:42?

Cool! 5/5 Rich

If you do not know a driver it's a bit hard. Basically all you can do is keep asking until somebody says OK

Is this train going through Wycheproof as they have the train line going right through the middle of town.

loved that pity its not in hd

And if I had been driving the train I would have sounded the whistle at you. But I did not and do not sound it in the middle of nowhere at nothing or anywhere that I see no need to do so.

having no idea of the circumstances I am unable to comment

And the title of the clip is.............

Mostly 40 km/h in this clip

rocketboy te vezeted ezt a vonatot?

g'day mate. i'm curious to know how someone can get a ride in one of these. it's a goal of mine to ride up front in a diesel one day. let me know please

@levi2070 igen, én nem

I know it is an EMD, but the A7 designator; is that Aussie? To my knowledge, EMD built no A Series diesels.

@InvasorEspacial007 I was the driver

where was this train headed and boy it sounds like people don't mind trains shure don't use the locomotive horn much for railway crossings down under unlike in Brazil or USA where drivers or engineers blow the horn --.- for railway crossings thats the letter q in morse code
