2025 Christmas trainspotting in Melbourne's western suburbs - Episode 1: The Summer Equinox

Welcome to this video presented by VicRailGuy Rail Media This is the first episode of the Christmas Trainspotting series of 2025 (yes we know its 2026 but we didn't start this channel until January this year and we wanted to get other content out first). This episode features a clip from West Footscray station and the rest from Middle Footscray station, both in Melbourne's inner west. These clips were taken on December 21st 2026, which is the Summer Equinox in the southern Hemisphere. But the weather? well lets just say it didn't want to cooperate...
