Join Steamrail Victoria for a journey to the city of Warragul in the rolling hills of West Gippsland - behind two vintage streamlined diesel locomotives.TICKETS AND MORE INFO - www.trybooking.com/DIBXD
Departing Newport, Southern Cross, Flinders Street, Caulfield or Dandenong stations, the train will head from the heart of Melbourne through to the rapidly expanding southeastern suburbs. Reminiscent of the glory days of 'The Gippslander' an express run will be had towards the Latrobe Valley. Leaving the overhead wiring behind and escaping the suburbs, we will enter the lush farming country of West Gippsland. Relax onboard as the locomotive works hard to tackle the steep grades of Longwarry Bank before we arrive into the city of Warragul.
Arriving at the railway and farming city of Warragul at 10:59am. You will have time to explore and dine at your own leisure. Please ensure you make lunch reservations in advance, as there may be limited availability at local venues.
After a pleasant lunch, the train will depart Warragul at 2:36pm, before the express run back to Melbourne, stopping again at all the pick up stops.
