Several years old.. Before 3 level crossing removals..2020 footage? Have you got pre Carrum crossing removal video? Recording Video Date and Time would be interesting to note.. Without date, it is assumed this is recent. .when it is not.
The attached playlist should make it much easier to find era you want. As for the date, a recent crackdown on rules has made it desirable for the date of the recording to be as vague as practical. Melbourne - Driver's View Trains ru-vid.com/group/PLLtOIHp49XNDtaNr2H41P2th0S56s6bIH
Some locations to blow whistles are mandated by a whistle board, the white X on a post. It’s also advisable to blow a whistle at a station where trains normally stop, but this one didn’t. The driver is familiar with the line so he probably is taking precautions at spots where he has had near misses in the past. Personally I think the whistle boards for level crossings are much too far away to be of any use.
As I have said to others, I am rapidly running out of lines to cover and the choices are either high-speed or nothing. Most viewers apparently don’t have much time to watch half an hour or more of a line, so at high-speed they can see the entire line in a short space of time. Don’t watch it if you don’t like it.
@@tressteleg1 For years we've had GM locos here in NZ with Leslie SuperTyfon horns which are excellent. When they decided to buy new locos from China some years ago they came fitted with awful squeaky horns which remain to this day.
While the American steam whistles are what we think of as from river boats, the Europeans use very high pitched PEEEEP whistles, and I suppose that is what China may have copied for your locos. Australia, and maybe previously in NZ, a pitch between those 2 extremes was chosen.
