*AWESOME PIC POST!* The afternoon Vline passenger train from Leongatha has just left Koo wee rup and is about to pass the bunyip river trestle bridge toward Cranbourne. Picture taken on 12.12.1987 by Bryce Leydon.

FYI to our followers regarding steam trains next weekend on Saturday to Cranbourne. https://facebook.com/events/s/cranbourne-steam-train-rides-s/1607878360459443/

Next Weekend: Cranbourne Line Steam Shuttles - Saturday the 25th of July 2026.

Steamrail Victoria returns to the ole South Eastern / old South Gippsland mainline between Dandenong and Cranbourne. There'll be a variety of steam hauled passenger shuttle specials during the date of 25/07/2026 (some will remember another notable tour on the line from 33 years earlier back in '93). Refer to their event page via: https://facebook.com/events/s/cranbourne-steam-train-rides-s/1607878360459443/

A flashback to the recent specials, from 23/09/2023 with A2 986 and the Tait Red Rattlers (minus K153). - Admin photograph.

With Under 3 weeks remaining until the closure of the e-petition, we urge followers to encourage others to sign. For this boost, we are recognising scenes from the past in the 1990s at Clyde. When V/Line trains passed through the site of the former station (closed in 1981) and underneath the Ballarto Rd bridge. Wailing Chang photographs of Leongatha pass trains in the year 1993.
