Looks menacing with that patina. It's like a railroad version of the truck used in the movie Dual.

[middle_digit]

The fact that it still even exists is amazing. The fact that it can still even run after all these years is sensational.

What a beautiful sight to see and to hear. Thank god there are people out there who love and care enough to bring these pieces of history back working again and riding the rails again.

G'day from NSW. It is great to see any retired loco come to life again. Well done those who gave the old girl some life again. Mike in Oz

Such is the resilience of diesel locomotives. Thank you for bringing us this excellent video presentation which is very much appreciated.

[dmcry]

I'm a V/Line orange and gray era fan, but there's no denying that T382 is a classic. (Ken in USA)

[PharaohDeathMask]

Thank you for making this fabulous video. Congratulations to the mechanical staff who got this loco running.

As a city boy, I remember these on country trips in the car, in the last days of Victorian Branch lines in the '70s. Looking across a paddock and seeing them towing a line of beaten up general purpose little wagons with fixed wheels and bouncing all over the place with a Guards van on the end with a little chimney. I imagined a guard in there, ciggie hanging from his mouth, boiling a pot of tea on a pot-belly stove and trying to prevent a disaster with the kettle sliding and rattling on the hot plate. I think it was about 1978, and it was almost all over. The branch lines closed one after the other.

Great weathering job ! I can easily image the thrill when the wheels started turning !

[grantmarchesi]

Wow, 31 years. Amazing work to get it turning its own wheels again.

Made my day...and I'm in the USA. Big smile.

Ich liebe diesen Typ von Loks und ihr Geräusch traumhaft😆

[attilathehundownunder]

Having spent many days of my professional life walking around Newport with the shunters there, and having had many trains moved by Y136 (as well as the occasional ride), that sound is so familiar.

[darrellbradley]

The wraspy Sound of the Exhaust Love it ;) .

[TrainiacProductions]

This is absolutely wonderful. Beautiful video! Truly magnificent documentation of a momentous occasion. Thank you for sharing!

[richardcline]

With so many locomotives and even full trains being found abandoned and forgotten it makes me feel great to see old iron like this preserved and restored rather than being abandoned or scrapped.

[allanliversidge]

I'm an Alco person, but the resilience of these old EMDs has to be admired and respected 😊❤

[GenX-Gamore]

That is just amazing seeing this old patina covered Loco move and work like it was brand new. ^5
