The way it was, the way we still do it
Experience a journey back in time aboard the Victorian Goldfields Railway, an authentic heritage railway that links the historic gold mining towns of Castlemaine and Maldon in Central Victoria. Established in 1884, this 16-kilometre branch line was originally built to serve the bustling goldfields. Today, meticulously restored steam and diesel locomotives traverse the scenic route, offering passengers a glimpse into the region’s rich history and the charm of a bygone era.
