Comeng XPT - part 1

Published 2023-04-06
This is part 1 in a series dedicated to capturing the Commonwealth Engineering Express Passenger Train - the XPT.

Now in service for more than 40 years, this iconic train is seen arriving and departing from Sydney Terminal, as well from a number of inner suburban stations.

Turn your sound up to listen to the mighty Paxman VP185 12-cylinder diesels and other associated sounds from the train. Particular attention has been made to capture the audio in best quality possible for the full audio-visual experience.

This video is also dedicated to all the staff who have made and will make the running of this train service possible and an experience of a life time.

    Nice video. Thanks for the slow look over power car no. 2012 and coach no. XAM 2178 1:54, never seen this done before. Good to see refurbished power car no. 2019 - 10:04, 20:16, 24:46. I thought at first that it was the leading power car involved in the Wallan derailment but I understand that was no. 2018.
  • This is some excellent work mate! You've captured some great scenes. Really loved the 5 XPT sets at Central @ 15:40

    Hey buddy, my dad was the internal design engineer on the XPT among great Comeng rail projects. I shake my head when I see the rusty / dirty external paintwork on the locos, only in this country. Understand dirty / greasy environment however wouldn’t you think the transport people would regularly wash the locos. Anyway always good memories of my dad when I see the XPT.
