Triple K Class to Traralgon - Saturday 24th September 2022

Join us aboard The Vintage Train, as we head to Traralgon on our first commemorative tour to mark 100 years since the first K class steam locomotive (K100) entered service on the 22nd of August 1922.  Featuring our three K class steam locomotives K100, K183 & K190 on a rare triple header run!

Departing from Newport, Southern Cross Station, Flinders Street, Caulfield, Dandenong or Pakenham (added by popular demand) the three engines will run via the Pakenham line to Traralgon. Settle back in your compartment and before long, Melbourne will be lost in a trail of steam and smoke as we journey into the fertile farming district of the Latrobe Valley. The locomotives will work hard as we climb through the green Gippsland hills around Bunyip, Longwarry and Warragul, travel through the mysterious Haunted Hills, Hernes Oak and Morwell before arriving in Traralgon, where you will spend a leisurely afternoon. The popular Traralgon Farmers' Market will be operating in the Kay St. Gardens until 1pm. Enjoy a meal in a local hotel or café. Then relax back on the train as our locomotives begin their sprint westward on a course for home.

While you are experiencing what the City of Traralgon has to offer, our Volunteers will be busy turning and servicing the locomotives, preparing for our journey back to Melbourne in the afternoon. We will arrive back at Southern Cross Station at approximately 7.20pm.

For those who don't want to be confined to their compartment, the train will feature Club Car Moorabool with kiosk and open seating. We will also have our heritage luggage van 18CE opened up behind the locomotives as a viewing area to take in the sights, sounds and smells of the exciting triple header run.
