Today's date is 22/3/2025. Page accessed at 11:56, local time.

This page contains railfan events in Victoria that I am aware of. It should be noted that this is not a complete list. I will try to cover most of the special events and tours but there will be some omissions. This is intended as a general guide to railfan events in this state. If you would like more information, please follow the links to the tour operator.

If you represent a Victorian railway organisation and would like a special event or rail tour added to this list, please e-mail me at jrbrook@optusnet.com.au.
