Puffing Billy Railway

The original Puffing Billy Railway was one of four low-cost, narrow gauge lines constructed around 1900 to open up remote areas of Victoria for early settlements. Narrow gauge lines were relatively cheap to build and were more suited to the rugged terrain. During the heyday of operations there were over 200Km of track on these 4 regional lines.
Disc One: Introduction to Melbourne and the State of Victoria, featuring Flinders Street Station and the electric trains. The steaming of the engines at Belgrave. Double - header to Lakeside and onward to Gembrook, featuring interviews, cab ride and historic black and white photographs of the line.

Total Running Time 59 minutes

Disc Two: The return journey back to Belgrave, including the history of the line. Deleted scenes of engine 14A at Belgrave and bonus footage of engine 6A originally used in the opening black and white title sequence.

Total Running Time 54 minutes.
