Maldon Gold - the Victorian Goldfields Railway

Extracts from this Railstuff film on about The Victorian Goldfields Railway
between Castlemaine and Maldon in Victoria, Australia which is a near
perfect example of a 5¹3² gauge Victorian branch line of the late twentieth century. Around 10 miles long and running over quite difficult terrain at its Maldon end, with numerous timber bridges, operations on the line are seen in this entertaining film with ex Victoria Railways ŒJ¹ & ŒK¹ class 2-8-0s on passenger and Œfreight¹ trains, much of the freight train run being shot on the footplate. Not that well known outside Australia, this isclearly a neat preserved line. See:
