Steam & Push-Pull Ps Trek to the Stony Point Seaside | 707 Operations - ...

Welcome back for another week.
Today we have another heritage video, as we slowly begin to whine down for this year's heritage season.
For this video we capture 707 Operations tour, where they head down the Stony Point line on the Mornington Peninsular. Intially Steam locomotive R707 was to make the full journey down, but due to operational requirements, instead a return of V/Line's Push-Pull P classes would head down the entire length. R707 was dropped off at Frankston to allow the return of both the P classes and H carriages to the line. 
Next week we will announce our plans for this holiday season, that will start the week as well.
Until next time, cheers all.

North East Dash - 150 Year's of the North East | Seymour Railway Heritag...

Hello all,
Welcome back for another weekly upload. One from last month, which saw the Seymour Railway Heritage Centre operate a shuttle to Benalla as part of the 150th anniversary of the North East Railway.
Locomotives made a dash up the line, with pick up stations at all stations along the way.
As a side note, tomorrow (21st of November), is the actual 150th of the North East line making it to Wodonga, so it was about time this video made it online.
Cheers all,
Back to flexible scheduling next week, so see you all.

Oil Burner Hudson to a Garden Show | Steamrail Charter - Morwell Interna...

Howdy all,
Time for this weeks video, and we ehad back to the Latrobe Valley, for what should be the the last tour in the region for 2023. This is also the last regional and Steamrail steam tour for 2023. For this, we have a chartered service, that saw locomotive R711 head east solo for the Morwell International Rose Garden Festival.
being a summer run, it saw the train as a rare daylight UP tour, something that for the Snow Train would be in darkness by the time they leave Hernes Oak Loop.
An enjoyable chase, as we begin the count down for the end of year.
Anyways, enjoy the video, next week's is from the backlog, so catch everyone on Monday.

Sunny Blue Bayside Steam Dash | Steamrail - Rail & Sail - November 2023 ...

Welcome back for another week.
Well, another weekend has passed and so has another tour. This was Steamrail Victoria's last Rail & Sail for 2023, and the last steam tour that was hosted and operated by them. Once again we cover a chase of both the rail and sail components, for what possibly might be one of the last times that we cover both sides comprehensively. 
Anyways, under the haulage of K183 the 7 carriage train sprinted along with South West main line to the seaside town of Geelong, while Port Phillip Ferries' Geelong Flyer made it's dash along the bay with a layover in Portarlington.
Anyways, the season is slowing coming to an end in a few weeks, so until next week, cheers all.
