Week-Long Railway Music Tour - MGS Bluestone Express - Part 1 707 Operations Charter R707, A66, S306 & N471/3 Hello all, Welcome to a Victorian heritage train video and our final regular video for 2022. Today we have the first of two videos that will cover operations of probably one of Victoria's most difficult heritage tours for 2022. The Bluestone Express is a chartered special by the Melbourne Grammar School to be the mode of transport for this season's regional tour for their Symphonic Orchestra. The tour began on the 9th of December when they picked up the orchestra at Southern Cross Station. Travelling through the night, they headed for their first destination, Sea Lake. Over the next 10 days the train made stops while the orchestra performed in Wycheproof, Maryborough, Boort, Warrnambool, Sale, Bairnsdale, Swan Hill, Echuca and Deniliquin. For most of the tour, three diesel locomotives took charge, these being A66, S306 and either N471 or N473 – they were switched in Warrnambool because of an operational incident in an earlier train service on the line. Steam locomotive R707 led the tour out of Melbourne, then back into Melbourne on the morning of the 18th. The train itself consisted of a range of ex-Victorian Railways’ and NSWGR’s sleeping and sitting carriages. The tour was inspired by the Train of Knowledge, a service that was run by the Victorian Railways as a school trip until 1989. In this video we capture the train's departure from Melbourne, then their path down the Pakenham Line in the early light before joining them for a chase down north-west, ending off this part in Bendigo. We will continue further north west in the next part, heading for Swan Hill then rejoining them for their final time in Melbourne. Some shots have been cut from both parts to save time, although one day we would like to compile the videos to release a director’s cut.
