Return of the Taits! The Steamrail Steam and Electric Parrelel Runs 3/7/2022

Come with us as we see one of the most spectacular tours since the Covid pandemic, The Welcome Back Red Rattlers tour celebrated the return of the heritage 'Red Rattler' Tait Train in style after 18 years out of action. This exciting Electric and Steam powered journey through Melbourne's Suburbs ran to Lilydale Belgrave and Calder Park on July 3 2022. With nearly 80kms of Parrelel running in the suburbs.
We covered the parrelel scenes in the inner eastern suburbs along with seeing regular service trains and a surprise at Mont Albert before the station closes for Grade seperation at Mont Albert and Surrey Hills.
The trip was very well operated and organised and is a credit once again to the volunteers of Steamrail Victoria who keep these magnificent engines running on the mainline for all to enjoy.
Enjoy!

It was actually the Federal Government that helped return the Tait to service. The State Government whilst supportive, provided no assistance at all.
