Double Streamliners Run Top n' Tail into the Suburbs
ARTC AK Test Train to Melbourne
42103 & GM10
Hello all,
Welcome to a Victorian train chase video. Today we have a video from the backlog where we captured the AK cars behind double streamliners traveling to Southern Cross Station. The AK cars are a set of three FAM carriages that have been modified to include evaluation equipment. Depending on route availability, various operators haul the carriages that are owned by ARTC. In this case, locomotives 42103 “Chumster” and GM10 teamed up to power this run, being operated by SSR. They traveled from Seymour to McIntyre where they formed a top-and-tail formation into Southern Cross Station. After, they went around the Tottenham triangle, then went back to Seymour. We begin our video in Wandong where we then follow the train throughout the rest of its journey.
