2012 was a year of anniversaries and commemorations on both broad and narrow gauges. 150 years of services on the Bendigo line, 50 years of the PBPS and the Last Beechy were all celebrated with steam special trains. Double headed R class ran to Bendigo and Traralgon. Steamrail ran yet another successful open day weekend with seven locos in steam. The Diamond Valley Railway ran its longest passenger train when Santa visited. Y 112 joined K 190 on country shuttles at Ballarat. Mainline loco K 190 again visited the Maldon Tourist Railway. Suburban shuttles ran to five destinations which included D3 639 running to Alamein. Cabrides on no less than seven locos add interest to this production.
