What people say -- some comments from First Class passengers.

" ---- on the return trip we stood on the viewing platform watching the train tracks and waving back to people who delighted in waving at the passing steam train. I got a great kick out of that. Great experience ...."

" The vintage train from Castlemaine to Maldon and return was fabulous.....All the volunteers who run this railway should be congratulated on their professionalism...."

" The steam train journey was so enjoyable - truly a step back in time - It was so relaxing just chugging along and watching the scenery pass by from our restored luxury cabin while enjoying a glass of wine. A great way to spend a day."

" Had a wonderful time.... Any train lover needs to experience the Victorian Goldfields Railway. It's a step back in history and a heap of fun. The cheese platter and glass of bubbly on an old train is nothing short of exceptional...."
