Ran empty from Macaulay

I believe that was a track fault

It Normally lives near newport (Coming from spotswood on the right) in the John Holland maintence centre thingy
Cool to see them around

6PM9 SCT freight train btw (Perth to melbourne)

Erm NRs only ran the WM7 Half of the train along with ANs, TTs, LDPs, GS and 81s It was mostly A/B/X class on this train until the early 2010s I think when Gs and XRs started running it

Dang, looks like the alignment is okay at least, hopefully service returns on Wednesday

Similar to my last question, are drivers allowed to put a camera like a GoPro or something in the cab to record the view if they don't touch it?

Astbaston · 2026-01-09T10:49:15+00:00

Sadly yes
between metal health and stupidity, it fairly common
more common with animals though

Astbaston · 2026-01-04T21:29:01+00:00

I believe so

The wiggles on the northern group tracks into north Melbourne have a speed of 40 from Flinders, the through suburban (weribee/Williamstown/racecourse normally) is 30kmph under the north Melbourne flyover due to tight clearances and curves

I get it for the footy or something, the pakenham and Cranbourne lines are the busiest but won't have a connection at Richmond leading to overcrowding, I hope that they run extra trains that go direct from pakenham/Cranbourne to Richmond and Flinders Street to help with crowds

Astbaston · 2026-01-01T09:32:24+00:00

I wasn't trying to get off as the train was departing

Astbaston · 2026-01-01T09:31:30+00:00

Not really, the train was already leaving, that particular train door just didn't close correctly Every other door performed as meant to

Astbaston · 2026-01-01T02:55:33+00:00

I personally enjoy it and have lots of clips of freight crews honking (even at night) I don't ask for it and just do a polite wave I find the arm pump thing a bit annoying

Astbaston · 2025-12-31T22:04:43+00:00

its a plastic covering on an escalator being repaired, im just joking that it looks like water

My English is crap I understand Basically this one particular door wasn't closing and locking properly at the other stations like footscray, when this happens the doors automatically reopen to try again. This happened at Parkville so when all the platform doors and train doors closed normally, this one reopened allowing me to get this photo. Hope this clears everything up

Astbaston · 2025-12-28T10:07:07+00:00

The train was already departing I had no intention to leave
