My steam list. This page is set up to provide a "one
stop shop" of what mainline steam we can expect to see running in Victoria
every year.

|
West Coast Railway's R2
class steam express locomotives lead a return service to Warrnambool every
Saturday from April to December. There is also a once-a-month excursion
to Echuca on the last Sunday of each month. Click on the destinations
for the full timetables.
|
|
|
V/Line Pass have four A class GM cab locomotives
that still serve faithfully Monday - Friday. Timetables for the routes
these venerable warhorses still ply are here.
|
A-
and S-class on
Freight
Trains
|
Freight Australia have seven A class locos and four
S class locos in service. The S class are used as trailing locos
and wander all over the state, but the As seem to frequent the Tocumwal,
Warrnambool and Traralgon lines.
|
|
|
WCR run S300, S302, S311, B61 and B76 on their regular
Warrnambool - Melbourne service. Working timetables are posted here
(you can get their "public" timetable from their website at http://ww.wcr.com.au).

WCR's
Transfer
Path
|
WCR frequently transfers locos and rollingstock between
Ballarat and Melbourne: this is their most commonly used path. The
up trains often run early! |
|
|
The Patricks' train usually has two or more GM cabs
(CLF or CLP) on the point in Victoria, and up to six locos over the
Mount Lofty Ranges in South Australia. It's also a train that transfers
interesting locos from SA to Vic and beyond (ELs for example).
|
|
|
FA's quarry train runs from Brooklyn to Kilmore East
to Westall and back Sunday - Friday. Used to have G543 (FA's first
green and gold loco) as the rostered loco, but G543 is now on Standard
Gauge and working in NSW on grain trains.
