A new year means new heritage trains to chase! Here is our chase, with plenty of photos from the trip!
On January 26, Steamrail Victoria ran a heritage special between Rochester and Melbourne, a distance of over 200km, with heritage streamliner S313 on the return leg

Attached was a long line of SRV's carriage fleet, a mix of eras, including cars recently retired from V/line
After having lunch and a wonder, the train was timetabled to take around 5 hours back to Melbourne
S313 was making good time, easily doing about 70 at this stage
Through many shots blocked by trees, I managed to get this one, just barely
Dust was kicked up here, presumably from all the cars chasing the train 😆
The B75 Midland Hwy is a busy bit of road, and the effect was to make this chase a lot harder from here to Bendigo
