Would have been a great shoot if it had not been shot through a green glass bottle.I guess the light was fading and any shot is better than none.The loco (R707) was moving along...probably 110km/hr?? so what is the speed limit for Museum Specials in Victoria? nowadays.

Yeh i used my basic video camera phone my video camera was busted so this was a substitute. I think the speed limit for the engines would depend on the load and what the time is, i'm not really sure though.

They already can, just find another site that posts them. I don't but if you go to my site you will find "other channels" and EMD645 is your man.

The speed limit for wooden bodied cars is 80km/h

Now i understand the poor quality,however,it captured the moment well.I am sure that next time with your video camera in hand you will amaze yourself what you can do and then those that live a 1000kms away will be able to see these great locomotives doing what they do best.
