The Train That Conquers The Desert In Style | Railroad Australia | Episode 5 | Documentary Central

They sure work hard ------ at the phony drama.

hats off to Australian railways, they put so much effort in their work, Australia a beautiful Country😊

Good luck Allie Hume, i hope you make a great driver.

I rode the Ghan 50 years ago when the rails were laid in the earth using no ties. 3 day trip. Lots of entertainers on the train too. Fun trip.

What sort of a name is "Ghan" ? What does it mean ?

Rode the Ghan from Adelaide to Pimba, then was going to walk to Woomera but some folks gave me a lift.
We also rode the Indian Pacific from Adelaide to Sydney in first class. This was October 1994

whats omitted? is the hugely overpriced food / ned kelly would be jealousethat ?lot paid over 1200 for the ride

rode the ghan a few times however ROAD TRAINS far more exciting than the hugely boring train .in ALICE i mingled with road train personnel now thats ? real aussie memory.

Amazing movie! Thumbs Up

Developed countries put money where they see the future. Like this

You would think that with such heavy traffic running on a single line, over vast distances, the RR would’ve added a second parallel line, with a lot of switch tracks, to ease up congestion. But of course, I believe everything comes down to $$$ and need.

"The Ghan gets going again". Classic.

Excelente vídeo

This is Aussie's worst Train and I've seen N.Korea and Usa train altogether

I am watching from S1E01...this is S1E05... All the episodes are so so awesome, I wish I get lot of such smiliar episodes, bringing my childhood memories back !
Lot of time and man hours would be spent to get these video footages. Great work!
I'm much of a train fan, Traveling to native / grandparents place( From a place called bangalore to Kerela Alleppy) in India from childhood, most of my 1000kms journey would be evening 7PM to morning 7am, I used to stay awake in night to have a count of street lights in desolated stretch, a pocket FM and headphones along with the music of the rails, do some interesting stuffs 😂
We had around 15-20 major stations and brief stops picking up passengers and goods, I used to ( and still do 😁) get down off the train in stations grab a coffee from coffee guys, keeping my eyes on the distant train signal switching from red - orange and green so I can safely board,we had manual doors and still do have Manual doors in most of our passenger trains,except few new models and superfast trains.
Unforgettable memories :)

What a maneuver! The two trains had to be lined up perfectly with constant radio contact to the driver for what? Two tiny boxes of scallops? I thought they'd be fire brigading hundreds of pounds of food. Shoulda just thrown them to the manager as the train was passing.

Not all Heroes wear capes, but
Jeff and Bruce are the true Ozzy Heroes!

Makes me feel the pressure especially the tracks and The GHAN because you sell service and didn't wanna somebody disappointed

Why Oh Why are all these kind of series Over Dramatized???

CANNOT BELIEVE YOU DID NOT SHOW THE WELDED AREA THAT WAS DIED. SHOWED US THE NEW FROG- BEAUTIFUL WORK BTW.. BUT NOT THE WELDED/PATCHED SECTION.. BUMMER

Seems like a very interesting topic, but the first minute already seems way too overdramatised. I'm unsure if I'll watch it.

Did Aussies never heard of measure twice, cut once?

Really well done video. Brilliantly enjoyable.

working on the tracks I see 5 people standing around and 3 people actually working. Yup. Sounds about right! SMH. lol

The film crew who got the job on the Ghan came up lucky.

why dont they measure before they cut....

YES INDEED, YES INDEED! KEEP THESE COMING! I GOT TRAINS ON THE BRAIN!!! TOO GROOVY!

This was quite an enjoyable video. Educating too.

Took this train (The Gahn ) to Alice Springs in 2005. Loved it.

Dropping documentaries by the train load.

Your contents are always magnificent..
Thanks for the upload, D.C..💖

Wow...cool beans. I'm watching this later. Beautiful!
