So much to see on this beautiful part of the line. Especially at 23:25 when Godzilla appears in the distance, on the left side of the track. :)

Looking forward to seeing the Maryborough line. I believe after Maryborough, you would have filmed all regional lines

As a Ballarat person, it was interesting to see the trip from the Rail-line

Nice video as usual. I enjoy these rides from Down Under.

I just learned something. I never knew the Vlocity trains went to Maryborough. Great video.

[vickstar]

Ah the Maryborough line! Looking forward to watching this one 🙂

Tourello crossing loop ‘under construction’…. More like reinstated after it was foolishly ripped up 15 years ago with Sulky and Talbot loops. Great video once again!

25:10 Nothing to do with the train trip, but what on earth happened to that windmill on the right?

Extra rails trackside at 11:55 - is there going to be a new passing loop here?

[Darrenraitt]

I love how they split them in Ballarat and one goes Ararat the other Maryborough, is that the only time they do that on the vline system ?

[perpetualgrin]

Plan to do the same trip next week. Better than summer😅.

what was that thing crossing the line at 21:10?

If you want to catch a V/Line VLocity Train from Southern Cross to Maryborough, You have to get on the Down Wendouree Service and get off at Ballarat and change trains at Ballarat Station to catch the Down Maryborough Service

[vlinenclasstrains]

What's the Train No: Number on the Down Maryborough Service
Train No: #8*** ?

[rsinclair]

So if Maryborough to Ballarat was converted to standard gauge would Mildura freight trains have to go through Ballarat station or can they be diverted to connect the existing standard gauge before Ballarat to bypass the city?

[YoungOldGrump]

How do you sound both the low and high tones simultaneously? A foot pedal like in some European trains?

Very long platform there at Creswick, compared with Clunes. Bearing in mind your comment about 3 coach trains, there must be some historical reason for that.

Looks like this line still hasn't been upgraded to concrete sleepers yet, still plates and spikes with redgum sleepers, another interesting in cab ride, I have never been on this line.

How long does it take to catch a train from Ballarat to Maryborough..?
