On board 8332 (V'Locity unit 12) in leading car, felt 2 big jolts and noises just after leaving Tallarook. After stopping (for several minutes) at Broadford station passengers were informed we'd be pulling out of the station a little way so the underneath of the train could be inspected (smoke was reported coming out from underneath). After approx. 30 mins it was announced we'd be continuing (slowly) without one engine which had been damaged. Struggled in wet conditions leaving Kilmore East station and after consultation with the passengers it was decided to skip Heathcote Junction station. Friend from V/Line informed me it was a animal hit.
