March in Melbourne: Oil Burners

Ok, so calling a diesel an oil-burner is a bit rich... but at least the J Class below actually does burn it.

Photos are either taken around Dynon Yards in Melbourne or somewhere between Castlemaine and Maldon in country Victoria.

Full gallery here

And then the videos of the Victorian Goldfields Railway from Castlemaine to Maldon and return.

  fly3man,
  That’s the V/Line N Class. See more information about it here:

  They’re great for around 115km/h and one has been converted to Standard Gauge to get it up to Albury and back once the line is complete.
