LOL your timing is excellent, I was just about to post a separate comment cause the algorithm dug this up. This is an incredible piece of melbourne history! I had no idea this was a thing. Probably an interesting watch for anyone not into trains as well.
That's one of my favourite YouTube train videos ever! Love Taitset. Funny I've travelled that route thousands of times and never noticed that gradient.
I just watched this last week, a well done little video and yeah, super fascinating!!
Sounds like you need to start getting into [email protected]!

ironically I follow it on Reddit but not here for some reason.
You need to get on it, tiny! We're so much better than the Reddit version.
anecdote
I was actually quite heavily involved with the Reddit community (though never a moderator) in it's early days. Not much, but my claim to fame is I was there when it was sub 100 members!
