Steamrail is celebrating 100 years of Victorian Railways’ K class steam locomotives with a triple-header return special to Gippsland.

The train left for Traralgon this morning under the power of K100, K183 and K190. Find out when you can catch sight of the locos on their return run to Melbourne: https://melmag.com.au/entertainment/2022/when-to-see-steamrails-k-class-specials018/

The heritage rail group will also run K class-led suburban shuttles next weekend. More on those at the link above.
