Pakenhamtrain
Member
With the lockdown over again I had the chance to head out and get a few pics.
Beginning with 23/10

HCMT unit 11 departs Murrumbeena with a train for Caulfield. Due the seemingly endless work on the Pakenham/Cranbourne line trains were terminating at Caulfield.

During the last long lockdown the state government decided to expand the QR codes for contact tracing and put them on every single train, tram. bus, train station and some tram stops. Of course they're effectiveness is rather nil. No one uses them.
Here's one that's on X'trapolis 66M

On board Comeng 504M departing Flinders Street. Patronage a week or two after everyone could go out was still rather down.

504M departs Middle Footscray with a Watergardens train.

With more HCMTs in service the time has come to say goodbye to the Comeng fleet. At the time of writing 13 six car trains have been withdrawn from service. Here Steamrail's T395 and SSRs T386 haul Comeng 318M-1009T-317M-312M-1006T-311M to storage at Tottenham Yard. The push pull move is because the train has to reverse twice to enter the yard. A problem now fixed by being able to take the Newport-Tottenham freight line.

After a 19 year absence from the mainline Steamrail's K183 made a return in 2021 with a series of test runs and a surprise run on the Sandringham shuttles. Back in 2002 K183 was involved in collision at Benalla with a truck while operating a charter train. Sadly the driver, fireman and a person riding the footplate died.
In late 2020 Steamrail undertook an assessment of the locomotive and made the decision to restore it back to service.
