More trains sighted in Street view...
Part of the Glen Waverley line runs near the Monash freeway (The M1), so it's no surprise to see a train from the freeway:

Here's another at East Malvern Station:

Another one at Darling station (a bit further up the line):

Here's one at the old ground level station at Gardiner (before the crossing was removed):

):

But by Dec 2009, the barrier had been repainted red and white and the teardrop bell had been replaced with an e-bell
