Steamrail Victoria returns to the North East with a long awaited day tour to the railway town of Seymour. Departing from Southern Cross Station, travel in style in Steamrail's heritage carriages behind a classic steam locomotive. After the train departs Melbourne, settle into your compartment and listen to the engine work hard as they climb the famous Glenroy Bank, through the northern suburbs and into regional Victoria. After passing through the volcanic plains surrounding Wallan, the train will climb to the summit of the Great Dividing Range at Heathcote Junction and pass through the familiar bushland of the North-East. On arrival in the historic railway town of Seymour, you will have time to explore the town on the banks of the Goulburn River and dine at a number of local venues at your leisure while the loco is turned on the turntable for the return journey. It is advised to book ahead for lunch in Seymour as there may be limited availability at local venues. After a pleasant lunch, the train will depart Seymour for an express run back to Melbourne, arriving at Southern Cross Station after a memorable day out onboard The Vintage Train.
