QUBE Grain Train With Diesel Locomotive Swap At Gheringhap - PoathTV Australian Railways

QUBE ran a grain train from Dimboola to North Geelong, however upon its arrival at Gheringhap things started to take a mysterious turn resulting in a number of unexpected scenes unfolding before my camera over a 2 hour period as shown in this film. Key activities and times within the movie follow: 0:00 - 1:40 The train of loaded CGSY grain hoppers, led by CM3312 & 1103 arrives on the mainline but stops at a red signal. 1:50 - 4:30 CM3312 & 1103 detach from the hoppers and move past the turnout (points) then head onto the loop line. 4:40 - 6:40 CM3305 & CM3304 arrive light engine from Melbourne and attach to the hoppers on the mainline. 6:45 - 7:15 Timelapse (20x realtime) showing crew activities outside locomotives. 7:20 - 8:45 The train with hoppers makes a number of short slow movements forward. 8:45- 12:20 CM3304 & CM3305 depart the mainline with the hoppers. 12:45 - 14:05 CM3312 & 1103 light engines depart the loop and head to Melbourne. The NREC built 1100 class have only recently begun to appear on grain trains in Victoria. Location: Gheringhap Loop (Victoria, Geelong region), 3/9/2019 10:30am to 11:30am. Diesel Locomotives: CM3312 + 1103, CM3305 + CM3304, CGSY hoppers #Trains #Railways #Railroads by PoathTrains
