Steamrail Victoria returns to the North East with a day tour to the railway town of Seymour. Reminiscent of the glory days of 'The Spirit of Progress', join us as we storm over the great dividing range and into the Goulburn Valley on a return journey from Southern Cross Station.
TICKETS AND MORE INFO - www.trybooking.com/DIYEL
Departing Southern Cross Station at 10:51am, travel in style in Steamrail’s heritage carriages behind a classic steam locomotive.
The engine will perform a fast run direct to Seymour, reminiscent of the golden age of the Victorian Railways and famous express trains like the Spirit of Progress and Albury Express. After the train departs Melbourne, settle into your compartment and listen to the engine work hard as we climb the famous Glenroy Bank, through the northern suburbs and into regional Victoria. After passing through the volcanic plains surrounding Wallan, our train will climb to the summit of the Great Dividing Range at Heathcote Junction and pass through the familiar bushland of the North-East.
On arrival in the historic railway town of Seymour at 12:26pm, you will have time to explore the town on the banks of the Goulburn River and dine at a number of local venues at your leisure while the loco is turned on the turntable for the return journey.
It is advised to book ahead for lunch in Seymour as there may be limited availability at local venues.
After a pleasant lunch, the train will depart Seymour at 3:20pm for an express run back to Melbourne, arriving at Southern Cross Station at 4:56pm after a memorable day out onboard The Vintage Train!
