Driving a CL class Locomotive! 

Cant get enough of the CL's! Nicely done mate, super cool seeing what you guys to to move these beasts. Rest in peace CLF1 :(

Sadly CLF-1 got damaged in a rail crossing accident and is pending scrapping. CL17 is preserved though and is under restoration. Wow nice ride.

The CLP'S are very nice.& noticed they used to be owned by GWA Australia. But SSR finally has picked them up for use on grain haulage.

Nice sounding Dynamic Brake.

Nothing beats the thunder of a big EMD turbo prime mover. Was that CLF3 at the head end there on the last clip? LOVE that unit!

Thanks for the share , pretty neat seeing in what your guys version of what we call ee8 or ee9 unite ( covered wagons) you guys got updated operator consoles that’s too cool . Happy safe railroading . ❤

Even though our freight does not have buckye couplers we often try and bring the wagons together after stopping so uncoupling can be done easily. All our locos have desk controls but our single ended GMs had a console. The brake handles go the opposite to ours , we push forward to release. Throttle operation the same.

Very jealous. I'd love to be able to do this for a living.

double thumbs up another awesome upload. Thanks You

Hi Adam, another great video as per usual, many thanks and stay safe. Cheers Lee.

As always a pleasure to watch. Nice one.

Awesome Locomotive.. one of my favourites the CL......

Here in Mexico, those locomotives are called Chatas because of their exterior design. definition of Chatas: Flattened nose

Very interesting. Thank you! 🙏

Great ride! Thanks for sharing 👌

drove these once when arg/gwa was common in victoria i belive early-mid 2010s as i was a momentum subbie at the time and gwa had no crew available or not qualified

Heck of a ride along 🚂🚂🚂

I never understand why the brakes are manipulated while the throttle is active. I clearly have a lot to learn.

lots of work to drive a train ,, thanks

Awesome video mate! At around 2:21 you appear to quickly move the controller into idle before moving back to notch 1. Why is this?

I thought a couple of these clp were written off in a derailment in Victoria a couple more need a lick of paint running around in grey.

I must say, I envy your job!!

I'm gonna have to come for a spin......or even jump ship haha. Nah all jokes aside, another shit hot video bloke. You've done it again. Will have to catch up for a beer soon.

That was really cool 👍

great video, thanks for sharing this :P

It’s kind of funny the trains in the US the drivers sit on the right but in AUS THE driverS sit on the left

Oppff that horn on the passenger train sounded like a over blown kazoo.

Thank you..

I’d love to do this one day

Great video brother! 👌🏼

hi there. greetings from england, wish we had them here, great looking loco, a bit like the emd f7 but the driving desk is different.are these locos about 1700 b.h.p. and two stroke. great video.

Goodday Adam, Finally I get my first chance to watch your video, it has been a absolutely crazy week at work doing crazy crazy hours. Friday night enjoying a beer whilst watching CLP'S doing their thing. Recognize the first half Emerald Grain. They do very little housekeeping regarding the weeds. Any chance you can do a in cab fully loaded climbing Heathcote Junction, I was watching on another channel and you basically just barely make it over the crest. Love to hear those EMD'S working on hands and knees to makr the gradient. All the best for Xmas, sooner or later we will meet & greet down at the bottom of the siding at Emerald Grain one day. Cheers Louis 👍

Interesting that this unit isn’t equipped with a cab radio and you have to use a handheld! When my Conductors get more than 3000 ft (900m ~) away, a handheld is almost useless on either end lol.

good old casper & space ghost......

Where we you head to/from? Surely too long to go back to Kensington.

Alright I have to ask. Do you prefer console controls or a control stand?

What kind of qualifications do you need to have to get a train driver job there? I'm already a train driver in Canada and I'm actually an ozzie citizen thanks to my old man.

Tell your boss we (me and you) could put on a bigger turbo, bigger injectors, and a controller and add at least another 1000hp. Only problem is it wouldn't make it between fuel refills. By the way, do the newer engines have power steering(lol)?

Great vid. Still can’t understand why anyone would spray paint garbage on rail wagons. 🤡

What's the unit of measure with "2 to go"? 2 lengths of a standard carriage?

No directional horn for forward and reverse?

What do you do if you need to go to the dunny.

How to join aurizon railways

Please hard mount your camera so we don't have to take Dramamine.

Adblue?

👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪😁😁😎

as a driver i so dislike that term “red light” for STOP…why use a longer two syllable direction…
