VLine diesel loco A70 runs round its train at Frankston, passing under a fine array of semaphore signals. VLine diesel loco A70 at Stony Point, Victoria. The famous clocks at Flinders Street Station, Melbourne. The famous frontage of Flinders Street Station, Melbourne. A view of some of Melbourne's trams. Flinders Street Station, Melbourne, from across the Yarra River. A Comeng unit approaches the tramway/railway flat crossing at Glenhuntly on a working bound for Frankston. This 38-span timber trestle viaduct crosses Diamond Creek (behind the camera) just south of Eltham station on the Hurstbridge line from Melbourne, and is the last surviving such structure on the Melbourne suburban network. It is a listed structure and as such has defied attempts at modernisation. A Comeng train with motor coach 622M leading crosses in January 1999. This is Comeng motor coach 322M at Belgrave on Sunday 6th February 1999 during the proving trials of a prototype traction control system which I had been heavily involved with over the previous year. Belgrave is the summit of the electrified network in Melbourne and is approached over a long steep gradient, so is a favourite place for test trains to operate to. This route, and this train, was privatised as part of the Hillside Trains franchise (now Connex).
