Most Shinkansen services terminate here, and head back out, but not before a small team of cleaners pass through the train, and the seats are turned ready for the outbound journey in a few short minutes. It really is a sight to behold. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d6b34d7168967b5f0e548e/b3b44585-8344-4fdc-8f85-c8a9909884fa/Shinkansen+reflection Journal - Participating in a second exhibition - Make it stand out Some cool reflections to be had in Japanese cities, I really like this one taken from the train reflected in the JR building, Takanawa, southern Tokyo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d6b34d7168967b5f0e548e/aad715ea-1bdc-4993-8bed-ec3ffa244d78/Osaka+Subway Journal - Participating in a second exhibition - Make it stand out Osaka Metro, with a train arriving.

The Steamrail open days, 2026 - Make it stand out The ticket gate at the entry to the exhibition, the workshop doors date back to the 1880s, while the L class providing a backdrop first served the Victorian Railways in the early 1950s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d6b34d7168967b5f0e548e/b59b63bc-8e2f-415d-b207-9d8c3f62b187/20260308-SAG_6838.jpg Journal - Once every two years. The Steamrail open days, 2026 - Make it stand out The former workshops administration building and clocktower is a key feature of the site, dividing the East and West Blocks in two. After years of decay, the offices are being restored by the Hobson’s Bay Mens Shed, who are doing a fantastic job. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d6b34d7168967b5f0e548e/41ed9189-4f35-497c-bbf0-4c5f4c639315/20260308-SAG_6840-Edit.jpg Journal - Once every two years. The Steamrail open days, 2026 - Make it stand out T413, a member of the 707 Operations stable is glistening after a restoration which saw a lot of rust cut out of the bodywork. The loco was originally purchased for operation at Fyansford cement quarry, but once that railway was replaced by a conveyor belt, it was sold to the Victorian Railways as it was similar to their first series T class locomotives, but with the addition of dynamic braking, as can be identified by the cooling vents on the sides of the nose. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d6b34d7168967b5f0e548e/cb53a10a-5903-4fa1-894d-f835c62e14fd/20260308-SAG_6841.jpg Journal - Once every two years. The Steamrail open days, 2026 - Make it stand out Very old meets old. The oldest operating mainline loco in Victoria, Y112 (wearing its original number Y419) sits beside long term restoration project B72. The Y dates from 1889, and is almost as old as the workshops themselves, although it was built by the Phoenix foundry, in Ballarat. The B entered service in 1953, in the classic blue and gold livery, but has been restored in the short lived ‘Teacup’ livery of the 80s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d6b34d7168967b5f0e548e/79636642-f853-4a9f-bcd0-38df34b52387/20260308-SAG_6859.jpg Journal - Once every two years. The Steamrail open days, 2026 - Make it stand out K160 was getting some test runs in up and down the yard as part of the open days, and operating on the goods train display, very useful for bedding in prior to hopefully seeing some mainline trials later this year. Radio antennas on the roof are a hint that the loco will be able to travel on the mainline network on a more than one off transfer home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d6b34d7168967b5f0e548e/b366e257-6d59-4aab-8408-71c0cb140647/20260308-SAG_6902.jpg Journal - Once every two years. The Steamrail open days, 2026 - Make it stand out With Klondike doing short runs on some temporarily laid 3’6” (1076mm) gauge track, K183 and Y419 operate on the main roads. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d6b34d7168967b5f0e548e/6db41685-5e8f-4678-845d-5d08cc40f2c9/20260308-SAG_6884.jpg Journal - Once every two years.

The Steamrail open days, 2026 - Make it stand out R711 was unveiled in its new look, sparkling blue and gold, and no smoke deflectors. I’m looking forward to seeing the loco out on the main line this year! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d6b34d7168967b5f0e548e/010406fe-e65a-4114-8b30-8775516a010d/20260308-SAG_6904.jpg Journal - Once every two years. The Steamrail open days, 2026 - Make it stand out It was interesting to take a step back and observe people jockeying for position to get a photo, with one person complaining loudly about someone who was actually working in the yard being in the way as they promptly shoved their phone up in the air in front of other people. For the most part, it was all very courteous. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d6b34d7168967b5f0e548e/7f46e0ff-8d11-472d-bcef-c56365139bd8/20260308-SAG_6869.jpg Journal - Once every two years.

The Steamrail open days, 2026 - Make it stand out Class leader R700 was in the sheds this year, after joining the display two years ago. While not expected to join the operating fleet any time soon, it’s safely undercover, and may one day become the fourth broad gauge R in service. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d6b34d7168967b5f0e548e/a81ab0f3-b8b3-4980-8dfd-bca119e50641/20260308-SAG_6917.jpg Journal - Once every two years.
