Perhaps you're feeling nostalgic for the romantic bygone days of steam powered locomotives. On a steam train driving experience, you'll have a trusty fireman to keep the coal fire going. Or are you keener on the high-power performance of a slick diesel engine? In either case, dress for the job in sturdy shoes, overalls, gloves and safety glasses. Train driving is real work, so get ready to get dusty!
Your train driving experience begins with an instructional session tailored just for you. You'll meet up with a seasoned driver in the rail yard to learn the theory behind locomotive power and familiarise yourself with the controls. You may even have the chance to select which passenger carriages to attach to your locomotive, because you won't be driving alone! Share your train driving experience with your loved ones by bringing along up to four friends and family members as your passengers!
Once your train driving training is complete and you feel confident behind the controls, you'll work your way through the preparatory checklist for departure. Your experienced supervisor will be there to keep you on track. The whistle blows and you're off! The Bellarine Railway between Queenscliff and Drysdale is all yours for 33 kilometres!
Why settle for a train simulator or even heritage steam train rides when you can take the controls of an actual train? This experience makes an amazing gift for the rail fan in your life. It can even accommodate multiple train trips for multiple drivers. For both the biggest railway buff to someone simply looking for a unique escape, a train driving experience transforms your childhood dreams into a lived adventure you'll never forget!
