Steaming Up Broadway
Posted by Miroslav under: Event; Train .
If you like the idea of re-living, or experiencing for the first time, train travel from a better era, Steamrail Victoria are providing a chartered return trip from Melbourne to Wycheproof called “Steaming Up Broadway” (pdf info available here).
It departs from Souther Cross Station in Melbourne at 10pm on Friday the 10th of October and arrives at Wycheproof at 10.30am on Saturday the 11th. IT then departs Wycheproof at 9.50am on Sunday the 12th and arrives at Southern Cross Station at around 8pm that night.
The charter is using ex-Southern Aurora and ex Victorian railway sleeper cars and is being pulled by Steam Train Loco R761 and Diesel loco S313.
The carriages being used include the following:

The return prices for the sitting car are $200 and for a berth in a sleeper carriage it’s between $400 for a concession and $475 for a 1 berth cabin.
Looks like a great weekend :)

Due to over whelming support from governement, corporate and private partners, all passenger tickets for this charter have been reduced. See http://www.wycheproof.vic.au for further information.
