Hello to South Carolina 👋 Good to hear from you 😊 👍

Clearly it's time the line from Geelong to Ballarat was reinstated, the tenants at Moorabool evicted, and all the stations from Bannockburn to Lal Lal restored to their former glory. I've told PTV I'll fund restoration of the broad gauge tracks from Geelong through to North Geelong, but they're too busy closing down the Airport link to even think of the benefits.

Many years ago there’s was a connection between North Geelong and the Ballarat line, behind the goods yard. Is it not in use now ?
@driver667

It was double line which was single tracked in the 1960's and now is part of the yard. 👍😊

I was wondering how you were changing ends while not at a platform, and then I realized on a 3-car Velocity you can just walk through the train to the other cab, lol
@driver667

Lol, yep, 3 cars. 👍😊
@peterpandem9540
@peterpandem9540 Год назад
Why do they change ends?. Cannot they be diverted after North Geelong to go to Moorabool via the western side of the North Geelong yard?
@driver667
@driver667 Год назад
Yes you can go through the yard but then the vlocity is facing the opposite way to all the other vlocity units. 👍😊

@@zanevoges3360 yes as the fuel points on the vlocity would not line up, servicing equipment in the workshops won't line up properly etc. On the surface it doesn't look like much but it would create headaches behind the scenes. 👍😊

I really enjoy your cab rides. Just one thing. Can you reccommend a decently detailed map of the rail systems you cover. This is for someone on the other side of the globe who has little knowledge of the geography of your part of the world. Thanks for everything.

Eventually the down line between north B and C became single line with E S, and the old UP line became the auxiliary or thru line? can some one verify that please otherwise top number.👍👍
@driver667
@driver667 Год назад
The 1964 signal diagram is the first one that shows the down line now bidirectional and the up line now a through siding. The safe working system on the old down line was then electric staff. 👍😊
