  • Another steam operated tourist season is due to start up, in May 2024.
    But, subject to Bush Fire Hazard Conditions.
    With a long, hot, dry Sumner season. And with little rain falling, the start-up date could be delayed a few weeks or so?
    Meanwhile, sit back and enjoy this short clip of W945 and F40, working in tandem. As they haul the 5 coach train, on a return trip back to Dwellingup from Isandra.
    Videoed a few years ago.

      You must be proud of him, volunteering for HVR. Thanks for sharing that with us. Hope you get a chance to ride in the cab, one day.

    Maybe they should re-launch the diesel rangers seeing they might have to delay steam?

    We should all write to Minister Saffioti, request she cancel ARC's contract and maybe we'll see these beasties - along with the ARHS S - out and about again at some stage?

      Haha, I like your thinking. Yes, ARC Infrasructure is a rebadged name from Babcock and Brown, I think it was. They were awarded the track maintenance contract from previous State Government. And thus closed down tier 3 lines.
      Yes. Steam hauled specials, like they are allowed to run, in the eastern states mainlines

      I couldn’t imagine that loco on the mainline leaking steam and clanking like that, even if they could afford the access fees, I doubt they would have the man power to operate it on a larger scale like they used to.

      @@number2664 True. It sounds asthmatic. Clearly both ends of the deal would have to do some work.
