Facts and practical information

Steamrail Victoria is a not-for-profit volunteer group established in 1965 to restore and operate historic locomotives and rolling stock used on the railways in Victoria, Australia. The main depot of the group is at the Newport Workshops in suburban Melbourne. In addition to operating railfan special trains and charters for private groups, the group also operates special steam trains in the Melbourne suburban area. Steamrail regularly tours the state, including participation in annual events such as the Ballarat Heritage Weekend. Steamrail Victoria also hires diesel locomotives to freight operators such as Southern Shorthaul Railroad & Qube Logistics as required. Locomotives were also hired to El Zorro until they ceased trading. ()
