Thank you for this video. The rail runs behind my house, and you can hear the train horn all over town. The walks next to the track are good for taking a stroll along too. Thanks for including the history as well. I didn't realise how relatively recently the historic railway had begun operating.
Facts about the line: The Maldon branch actually was a branch off the Maryborough-Castlemaine line which you rode a bit on but they diverged before you left Castlemaine. The Maryborough-Castlemaine line was the original line to Maryborough before the more direct route via Ballarat was built. The line is not disused and cut at both ends but track, bridges and old station buildings do remain to this day. Maldon was also not the very end of the line. The line continued to Shelbourne with plans to link onto another line (forgot to town where it was meant to join). Similarly to Daylesford, from Maldon you could continue along the line but had to reverse (leave the same direction you came from) and the junction wasn’t far from the station. The Shelbourne line was primarily used for goods services but there was some passenger services run there.
Just got back from doing the Goldfields Railway myself(yes I'm in Melbourne right now). Thanks a lot for this video as my family really enjoyed the ride in this clunky but wonderful journey😊.
That was awesome Adam!! Felt like we were up there riding with you!! Great filming and very entertaining.. Dad and I always look forward to your videos.. We love your smiles and waves to the camera too!! See you on your next adventure 💙🙂
Great video. Something you didn’t quite catch at Maldon was there version of Thomas The Tank Engine. Interesting thing about the J class loco is they were the last steam engines built in Australia, and rank possibly among the last built in the world. An unusual feature of many of theses Red Rattlers used on the trains was an unusual tri axel or 3 axel bogey. Possibly used to reduce the axel load on these lightly laid rural lines or maybe a smoother ride on the rough poorly maintained tracks. Keep it up.🇦🇺
Thank you. Yes, I sort of missed the tank engine. Interesting about the J Class. 🤔 I did notice some of the carriages with three axles and found it quite unusual but didn’t know the reason for it. Interesting. Thanks for watching!
The train crosses the Bendigo - Maldon Road. ruclips.net/video/BlqXuClcS8w/видео.html Train to Maldon, have lunch in town, and back to Castlemaine in the afternoon. A great day out. 🚂 Another thing to try is to ride up the rail trail from Castlemaine by bicycle, and train it back. The guard is very friendly and accommodating.
I think Southern Cross station in Melbourne is the worst city station in Australia,I was there in September 2022 and I had forgotten how bad the fumes are.Clearly a bad building design .
Thank you, Adam, always enjoy your train videos, clear and simple. I am planning a trip to Melbourne end of year with my family. Thinking of this one-day train trip.
Another great episode Adam, we went in this train some 30 years ago when it only went a short distance back then, another item for the bucket list as well as the Stony Point line👍🙏😇
@ 12:02. On right hand side is the groomer I take my dog to. Just down from that an excellent bakery. And on the left hand side about 300 metres down some good cafes. And a pub.
Watched your video again and thoroughly enjoyed it once more. Just wondering have you thought of traveling on Puffing Billy in the Dandenong ranges, it’d would be well worth it?🇦🇺
This RUclips channel deserve more views and subscriptions than any other travelogue documentaries. So, it's my humble request to our esteemed subscriber to share this RUclips channel as much as you can. It will be the true subscription to this beautiful and unique channel. Thank you 💝 💝💝
Amazing video, I recently started watching them and they are great. I do want to ask, why was there a diesel engine at the return journey. Is it pushing the stream loco and the carriages?
Thank you so much! The diesel is used to shunt at Maldon and I’m not sure but I think they always have a diesel attached as a backup in case the steam engine fails. 🤔
Great railway. Interesting comparison, in first class when you have to pay for eats and drinks on top of that fare for and 1.5 hr return trip. I just did the Pichi Richi and paid $75 for a 78 km return trip through the Flinders ranges with 2hrs in Qourn - all up 6 hr trip. (No drinks or nibbles)
Yes, very interesting. Heritage railways are notoriously expensive to run so I guess there’d be a range of factors that affect why some have much higher prices than others. 🤔
Very nice. Just a suggestion, why don’t you point out some tourist attractions in Maldon during your next trip so that others who want to ride after watching this video will roughly know what to do during the 2hr break in Maldon.
Good suggestion - thank you! I originally had an idea along those lines, and was going to visit the Maldon Museum, but because I spent a while watching the movements in Maldon yard, I sort of ran out of time. Will try to be more organised next time! ;)
Thanks for the review. We had a terrific time on Monday in excursion class. They’d put on a special extra service for the Labour Day public holiday and it seemed that not many were aware of this so we had the cabin all to ourselves. During March the steam locomotive is under maintenance so they used a reconditioned V-Line diesel hauler, kids travelled free with adults as a form of compensation. The wife enjoyed Maldon with its many cafes and shops, though my son and I there for the train. A highlight was the sheer number of locals who come out to wave and mountain bike riders attempting to beat the train. We’re lucky in Victoria to have so many tourist railways, and next up is Queenscliff for the ride and silver service lunch. A quirky one is the Yarra Valley rail motor, but we’ll have to wait until the volunteers have finished works on the brick tunnel.
That sounds like a great day out. Glad you found the review helpful. Yes, you’re lucky to have so many heritage railways in Victoria. I need to check a few more of them out. Cheers!
I have done this trip too. I did it in 2015 when my daughter was hiking the PCT. I met an interesting woman who had done the same hike the year before. Several children along the way wanted to wave to the people on the train. Lovely trip.
Have you done the Walhalla Goldfields Railway? I would be interested to see which "Goldfields Railway" is best. I know I want to do the "Goldfields Railway" on my next trip to Victoria but I get myself confused on which one I am actually thinking about.
I miss that ‘clickety clack’. I grew up a stones throw from what is now an almost redundant station in NSW. Back then, it was actually safe for younger girls to catch the train wherever you wanted to go. So i went by train everywhere. With the old red rattlers, the doors & windows wide open and usually hanging out the door. There’s a blast from the past! Those chairs in 1st class needed to be set up facing the windows. Apart from that, what a fantastic journey. Another great video, Adam.
Thanks so much Linda. When I was young, we had Redhen suburban railcars in Adelaide, with manual doors which you could also leave open. It was a wonderful experience! Cheers.
I am most impressed with your editing, script and sound. Just an enquiry - there seems to be excessive base in your location sound on the train. What are you using for location sound?
Thank you! So if you’re referring to the natural sound this would have been a GoPro or an iPhone 12 Pro Max. But I’m now using an iPhone 15 Pro Max and a DJI Osmo Pocket 3, so hopefully audio has improved.
That explains it. I’m in my 80s and have just started video editing and videoing our Pioneers SA events and started their Video Channel in South Australia a few months ago years ago. Sound is the hardest thing to do. Of course our meetings are not rolling stock just boring old farts sitting through presentations. Started out with a friends 12 year old HD handycam. I think I’ve got the live lectern sound right but I had a background in sound. RUclips ‘Pioneers SA’ if you’re interested.

You need to stop showing your face continuously through the video.People are not watching to see your face,they want to see the video.Also stop reverse filming of yourself in the mirror. 😮
My family has been on this train twice in excursion class, nice to wave to people who stop to see the train. Excellent video. I also took video of the loco on the turntable. Interesting info about The Dress Maker movie, I loved that film.
Loco J516 was a static installation in a Greensborough park (Poulter Reserve) during the 70s and 80s - I have many happy memories of playing on it as a kid, and I saw it daily when I started catching the train to secondary school and walked past it taking my short-cut to the station. I believe the Yarra Valley Railway Co. acquired it. I hope they get it running, I would love to take a ride on it someday.
Great video! Always been a steam fanatic so having a showcase for this heritage line is a good find! Will definitely be paying it a visit when I eventually get round to visiting Australia 🇦🇺

My husband drove that J-Class Engine a few years ago for his birthday. He loved every minute of it.
Oh wow - that would have been a brilliant experience! :)
Looking forward to this trip Adam,really enjoy your videos.But hate the word Lavatory instead of toilets.So old English.Lol

That's an another master piece of Video from You !!!
I am really impressed 😁😁

To be honest, by the time you walk into town, have lunch, and poke your head in a shop or two, that's your time up.
Haven’t been on this train for about 20 years. At that time it only ran from Maldon to Muckleford then went back.
Cool.

The steam loco was converted into oil burning which has a huge tank on the top
I think half were ordered as coal burning and half as oil burning.
