Hudson's Divide Sprint & Rescue
Vintage Train to Castlemaine - November 2024
Steamrail
R761 (& A66)
Hello all,
Welcome to a Victorian heritage train video. Today we head out for the second Vintage Train for 2024, once again to Castlemaine. The Vintage Train is a steam day trip which on this occasion travels up the Northern line to Castlemaine. Like last time, R761 took the helm of the special. It was supposed to be an almost non-stop run after Watergardens to Castlemaine, however an operational issue allowed us to overtake the service two more times after our regional shot. On the return, the special picked up diesel locomotive A66, which had run up to Kyneton while the special was having a break in Castlemaine. A66 coupled up to the rear of the train and assisted the service for the rest of the journey.
In this video, we begin at Southern Cross, then return to Footscray for our first DOWN shot.
We finish up with A66 leading the transfer to Newport from La Trobe Street.
