Steam train rolls into town

One man's dream of bringing an old steamer back to Warrnambool after 14 years became a reality today. Hopefully we will see more of it!

Nicely captured; the people watching the train makes this a great story scene.

Reminds me of the TV series 'The Railway Children'. Nostalgia lives, OK!

Wonderful shot!

[Marnie]

Fabulous!! So glad you got a shot of it. I decided not to play golf yesterday and stayed home. We have only one car so Les needed it to get to golf. I was happily playing with my photos when I heard first a distant whistle, then some choof-choof noises, a louder whistle etc, but had no way of getting to rail-line. I didn't know about this trip, how did you find out?

[Denise Wood]

@golftragic It was a local train enthusiast who planned the trip so it was headline news here leading up to it :)

[Marnie]

@gilbertwood How good is that? Do let me know if/when there's another one planned please.

[Yao RL]

What an achievement,

[Taffy]

An exciting event to be able to photograph -- and a great result.

[Denise Wood]

@golftragic Will do :)

[Babs]

Oh fabulous shot, David would've loved to have seen this.

[Rick]

Awesome capture.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

How awesome is that! It looks like "old times" meets "modern times" with the engine coming through the steam and the people waving to one another.

[Pyrrhula]

Beautiful old steam shot.
