In this video we head off chasing the Vintage Train to Castlemaine on Saturday 21st September 2024. The 1952 built steam locomotive R761 hauled The Vintage Train to Castlemaine, celebrating its 40th year in preservation service with Steamrail Victoria. As part of this celebration, R761 had been fully repainted in shiny black & red by Steamrail Volunteers, returning it to the condition it was in following its 1985 repaint. You may notice small differences to the appearance of the loco to match it’s 1980’s look. R761 has operated with Steamrail for 18 years longer than its total VR career! Join us as we embark on yet another thrilling adventure, chasing trains!
