Streamliners & T Roll to Rochester
Australia Day Diesels 2025
Steamrail Vic
S313, T364 & S301
Hello all,
Welcome to a Victorian heritage train chase video, and we start off with the first mainline tour for 2025. On Australia Day, Steamrail ran their pair of S-class diesels and a high-nosed T to Rochester for a day trip. A morning departure of the tour travelled Down the Bendigo line and onwards to the Echuca line, stopping off at Rochester for the passengers to explore the town for a few hours. The locomotives for this service were streamlined diesels S313 and recently restored S301, making their first public run as a pair in over 10 years. T364 also tagged along as extra power and backup while S301 still undergoes some testing from its return to service.
We begin our video with the transfer arriving into Southern Cross Station, then proceed with our chase for the full return trip.
