Lets spend two hours trackside on the Melbourne to Geelong train line in the late afternoon and watch the sunset as a variety of V/line passenger trains and private operator freight trains roll by a country road level crossing. Starting at 5:30pm and finishing at 7:40pm on 1 September 2011 we will see the following trains: (Note UP = towards Melbourne, DOWN = from Melbourne. All V/line services are operating on the broad gauge tracks) 0:00 V/line N class with 5 carriages (up) 0:22 V/line N class with 4 carriages (down) 0:39 V/line V/locity 3 carriages (down) 0:49 V/line V/locity 6 carriages (down) 1:03 V/line N class with 4 carriages (up) 1:24 V/line V/locity 7 carriages (down) 1:42 V/line V/locity 7 carriages (up) 1:58 V/line V/locity 6 carriages (down) 2:17 Patricks Adelaide to Melbourne container freight with Pacific National locomotives NR73, XRB561 & NR69 (up, standard gauge) 3:27 V/line V/locity 5 carriages (down) 3:39 SCT Perth to Melbourne boxcar and container freight with locomotives SCT014, SCT002 & SCT006 (up, standard gauge) 4:49 V/line V/locity 3 carriages (up) 5:05 V/line N class with 4 carriages (down) 5:24 V/line N class with 5 carriages (down) 5:40 Pacific national Melbourne to Adelaide container freight with locomotives NR25 & NR28 - both locomotives have the Indian Pacific livery!

I think that decision paid off in this case :-) . PoathTV - Australian Trains, Railways & Railroads
