Bendigo to Melbourne Steam Train Transfer

Steamrail Victoria invites you to ride an historical steam train journey from Bendigo to Melbourne. R711 will be accompanied by S301 to haul our 700 tonne train up the almost 160 year old line from Bendigo to Melbourne. Departing Bendigo at 3:40pm after the Bendigo Steam Train Rides, take in the sights and sounds of the locomotives working hard through the forests as you climb the Great Dividing Range and through the tunnels at Elphinstone and Big Hill. Admire stunning views of central Victoria as the train traverses the 120 foot high viaduct above the town of Taradale, constructed in 1862. This steam hauled transfer train will arrive at Southern Cross Station at 7:09pm for connections with V/Line and Metro Trains services. Melbourne passengers can join in at Bendigo via a V/Line train at your leisure, or make a long weekend of it, travelling via steam to Bendigo on Friday 6th for a busy weekend of Steam action. Tickets are available for either one way travel to, or from Bendigo, or for return travel at a reduced fare.
