Apart from the great imagery, I really appreciate all the information you include. Many thanks

Nice catches. Amazing that this transcontinental main line is served by multiple companies instead of one like on the transcontinental main lines in America. Those tall SCT box cars and Pacific National auto carriers are quite unusual.

@deanl4575 3 года назад

Yes because remember freight companies don’t own track here (except for some minor cases), the government does.

Absolutely fantastic coverage of trains and the flatness of the outback, my maternal grandfather was a steam engine driver form the 1930's to the late 1960's.

Thx Matt. Very nice shots. I love that part of the country. I'll never forget my first trip north from Port Augusta. It was unsealed all the way to the NT border (except for Coober Pedy). Quite an extraordinary journey with a 253 HZ station wagon and a 14 ft Millard Caravan.

@rond6783 3 года назад

@@MS_Trains Oh Yeah! It was certainly different back then. The road went west from Glendambo to Kingoonya, then NNE to Bon Bon and Mt Eba stations, then back to NW through to Ingomar Station, then north to Coober Pedy. We weren't in a big hurry and certainly didn't want to kill the van or the car and the ruts were huge. You'd get sea sick at 20mph. It took us 4 days from P.A. to Kulgera.

Just love the outback rail, excellent footage and grand scenery. Excellent on screen information is much appreciated and liked. The crew cars must come off in SA? They are never on the trains when they reach western NSW. Poor old Sadliers vans looking very worn and sad covered in graffiti and rust. Very entertaining and a quality production, thank you.

@dieseldavetrains8988 3 года назад

@@MS_Trains Thanks Matt, the SCT trains come into Goobang Junction with the in-line fuel tanker still on, they fill it at the terminal. Thanks for the crew car mystery solved.

@speedymouse2859 3 года назад

Hi Matt good to see the Wirrida ores running with the bigger setup again. To clarify your final point the rear DPU is only used for the return loaded trip and is offline otherwise. This saves fuel and means only the lead pair need a fuel tanker to make the return trip.

@leighorgan5735 3 года назад

Also FYI, the distributed power system used here is a wired system, incorporated with ECP braking, not a wireless system.

@@MS_Trains Until your channel showed up on my RU-vid feed, I never knew Australia had such a heavy rail industry! Over here in the states they raise us to believe that kangaroos, Aborigines, and Mick Dundee are all there is in Australia! Boy were they wrong! Ha! I just retired after 41 years with Norfolk Southern Railway, and I remember, probably in 2018, that our company sent an entourage over there to witness the startup of autonomous operations on the Rio Tinto mining railroad, evidently an extremely heavy haul road! Now I realize that was just part of a booming rail scene over there! Thanks!

@ChadsRailfanExperience 3 года назад

Greetings from the USA! Why are the trains limited to only 1800 meters with it being so wide open out there? Most of our trains here are now in excess of 4000 meters in length!

@ChadsRailfanExperience 3 года назад

@@MS_Trains my biggest challenge as a train dispatcher is keeping them clear of road crossings that are only about 1800-2000 meters apart. It's hard to hide a train that size in Chicago!

@hughvane 3 года назад

Excellent video. Those locos must have extraordinarily powerful motors. Comparing Aus train lengths with American versions, the latter would have four or five locos to move the consist. Inline fuelling from where? Only the train @ 11:55 seemed to have external tanks, and they looked like cement hoppers rather than for fuel.

@Blime2913 2 года назад

How do the crews get to the long haul accommodation car, are crew change connected on the run or when the train has stopped..

@MS_Trains 2 года назад

Trains pull up and crews have to get out and walk between the locomotive and the crew van. This is the case with all trains on this line. Would save some time (and fuel) if they were connected tho! Matt - M&S Trains

@Blime2913 2 года назад

@@MS_Trains It sure would save a lot of time, they should be able walk to an from shift work and the accommodation van on the fly. I suppose the crew must change shifts during a LOOP stop or fuel stop if they don't have inline refueling available I guess!😃

@wazza33racer 3 года назад

heading out of California there is a 6,000 ton train.............every 5 minutes. Thats a real railway line. Or the Hunter Valley that handles over 120 million tons every year.

@turkeytrac1 3 года назад

I have a question, given that these trains cargo seems to intermodal containers, do these originate on container ships? If so, why not just ship them directly to their intended port?

@markfryer9880 3 года назад

There are also over length Domestic Use Only ie within Australia, containers, common length 48 feet or metric equivalent. They can be spotted by the extra corner posts set in 4 feet or 1.2 m from the ends. Top load only or with a matching sized container. Ideal for goods which cube out before they weigh out.

@jimcrawford5039 11 месяцев назад

No, they originate in the eastern cities and of course from west to east.

@siglavikingkearns8108 3 года назад

This info may be available elsewhere but a quick search hasn't found it. Who manufactures the locomotives? Are they made to Australian specs or were they purchased as they look? Horsepower? How many cars in 1.8 km. (I could count them of course)

@siglavikingkearns8108 3 года назад

@@MS_Trains It's hard enough trying to understand Canadian locomotives. I shouldn't have asked about yours. Sorry.

@jackeagles1637 3 года назад

The NR class featured in some of these trains were built by Australian company A Goninan & Co for National Rail between 1996 and 1998. There are 120 in the class. They are currently operated by Pacific National. The C44aci model locomotives built by UGL Rail at Broadmeadow adopted the design from the NR Class.
