On the Easter Long Weekend 7 - 9 April 2023 Steamrail Victoria visited Bendigo and surrounds for a series of rail heritage journeys. On Good Friday steam locomotive R711 and T395 headed up to Bendigo for a one-way journey. On Saturday the two trains visited Echuca for some steam shuttles before returning to Bendigo. On Easter Sunday Steamrail hired V/Line's A66 for a journey up to Bendigo to take passengers to the Bendigo Easter Festival, where it was joined with R711 for steam shuttles around Bendigo to Woodvale, before both R711 and A66 returned back to Melbourne in the late afternoon/evening.
In this video we see the trains on Good Friday and Easter Sunday. We start with the chase up to Bendigo with R711 & T395, seeing it at Diggers Rest, Macedon, Castlemaine, and arrival into Bendigo. On Easter Sunday we chase A66 for a quick high speed chase; seeing it only at the North Melbourne flyover, Malmsbury, and Kangaroo Flat. We then see A66 & R711 operate shuttles between Bendigo and Woodvale, before seeing R711 lead the train back to Melbourne. We see the departure at Bendigo before catching it at Harcourt, Elphinstone, Malmsbury, Gisborne, Diggers Rest, before ending at Melbourne's Southern Cross Station where we see the locomotives shunt around before they returned home. Particularly on the Sunday I reckon I got some of my best ever clips of locomotive R711 as it makes extraordinary sounds as it chuffs along the line.
Various clips in this video were filmed with @Comeng998 @pnworkshops8380 & @TCJ_YT
