Steamrail Victoria invites you to ride historical steam shuttles at Ballarat featuring two heritage steam locomotives as part of the Ballarat Heritage Festival. Wave to the Ballarat locals and the lineside photographers while we take you back in time aboard The Vintage Train. Our shuttle trips run 18km to the tiny country town of Lal Lal. Stopping just out of town, the train will then return you to Ballarat Station, passing high speed V/Line trains on the approach to Ballarat. One way trains will also be operating between Melbourne and Ballarat. Experience regional travel, 1920's style.
