Hello everyone, as promised - a winter night cab ride on the Hurstbridge line from Clifton Hill to Rosanna! You can hear the X'trap doing it's characteristic slipping and sliding on the wet rails in many places. I'll let you in on a little secret about this video - to protect the privacy of those chatting in the cab, the audio has been 100% replaced by recordings I made from the passenger saloon on two other trips over the same section, in the same conditions. There was a lot of splicing involved to get everything to line up properly, and there are one or two bits where the sound isn't exactly right for the speed - but I think only people who know these trains really well would stand a chance of noticing. Overall pretty happy with how it turned out, especially the timing with the other train a the Heidelberg tunnel. Enjoy!
