Toby's Transport Videos's video: N Class to Ballarat 2nd and 3rd of November 2019

Over the weekend of November 2nd and 3rd 2019 V/Line ran a Light Engine (single locomotive) on a series of driver training runs between Geelong and Ballarat in order to familiarise their drivers with the line in preparation for a forthcoming shutdown of the Ballarat line in conjunction with the current Regional Rail Upgrades. This video opens with "Cheeseburger" liveried N467 arriving at Ballarat station in typical Ballarat weather - dismal! After a quick look at the loco in the platform we move to Ballarat East and watch it cross Humffray St and cross to the line to Geelong. We then see two scenes of it on the 1 in 50 grade of Warrenheip Bank before taking a look at the closed station of Lal Lal, where the loco slows for the crossing before accelerating back up to around 60 kmh on its run back to Geelong. All scenes were recorded from publicly accessible areas. If you like what you see, please subscribe, (Click on the bell, and "All Notifications") and leave a like.
