I have just just helped with the organisation and the running if the albury/wodonga 125 years since the line opening and the last broade gage (5 foot 3") steam train running to albury from seymour to all the way from melbourne with D3 658 and R 761 hualing the train to seymour then R761 on it's own the rest of the way to albury on 14th june 2008 it was a very great train trip along with 3 Ned Kelly's that stopped the train at glenrowen witch also stopped a standrd gage goods train on it's way to sydney from melbourne with NR 8 as leading locomtive unit.
apart from a few delays along the way it failed to stop all enthousiasim of the passengers on the train and all the people on looking on station platforms and trackside along the way.
it was a very big and rewarding trip as a volunteer I have to deal with along with the other volunteers also with train driver crews and V/line conductors that helped steamrail out for the day.
