ex W.A.G.R. V1213 back in action at Pemberton

[John Bollans <jarroo@start.com.au>]

Ex W.A.G.R heavy freight steam loco V1213 is back steaming every
Saturday & Sunday until November at the Pemberton Tramway. The train
travels 11km north of Pemberton on Saturdays to Eastbrook siding and a
furhter 10km further to Lyall on Sundays.
Timber is collected at Lyall on Sunday for transportation back to the
Pemberton sawmill. The timber wagons are hooked to the back forming a
'mixed' train. In summer vintage ex Westrail 'Y' class diesels haul
these trains.
For something unique, Driver Training Courses are available for either
1 or 2 return trips to Eastbrook (1 3/4 hr) at the regulator of V1213.
Also footplate tickets are available for V1213 if you don't want to
get dirty.
Trams journey south every day to either Warren River or Northcliffe. 

For more info and some good pics, see my website.
