Echuca is a boarder town of the states of Victoria and New South Wales, It was originally the terminus of the first cross country main line in Victorian Railways History linking the Port of Melbourne to the Warf at Echuca for the transport mainly of wool which had been transported down the Murray River. Over the Easter weekend in 2011 Steamrail Victoria ran a series of shuttles for the locals with steam locomotive R761 and diesel locomotive T356 from Echuca Station to the old station site at Barnes. Here is seen R761 and T356 departing Echuca bound for Melbourne on Easter Monday, Anzac Day. Seen here is R761 leading T356 as they cross the impressive Taradale Viaduct on the way back to Melbourne in beautiful afternoon sunlight. The Viaduct is on a grade and contains the 'Taradale Loop' over it. R761 had just been passed through by a DOWN Bendigo Vlocity.
