Over the weekend of 9 and 10 March 2013, DERMPAV operated the second of two weekend trips to Sea Lake approximately 420km from Melbourne in the north west of Victoria, Australia.
This video commences at Boigbeat, approximately 10km south of Sea Lake and follows the DERM all the way to North Creswick, near Ballarat. A chase of approximately 270km!
DERM 58RM was built under license from the Electro-Motive Company in 1930 as a petrol-electric rail motor (known as a Gas-Electric in the USA). In the 1950's it was converted to diesel-electric with two 6-71's in place of the original Winton motor. It was withdrawn from regular service in the late 1980's and passed into the care of SRHC and subsequently DERMPAV. In 2011, 58RM returned to mainline service and now operates regular tours all over Victoria's mainline network.
