| Message | Hey guys,
I have been wanting to have a ride on your railway ever since I saw one of the steam locos crossing the bridge over the A300 in Castlemaine two years ago. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get around to it until this weekend. My family and I went to the Maldon Folk Festival so it was a no brainer for me to make the most of the opportunity. A big thanks to everyone who made today such a wonderful experience. I have been building today up in my mind for a while and I'm pleased to say that even after two years of anticipation the experience out did my every expectation. From the moment my wife, brother and I bought our tickets to when we departed Maldon after returning we felt extremely welcome and valued.
A special thanks to the Guard and Ticket Inspector. To the Guard for sharing knowledge of the railway on the 14:30 Castlemaine Train and stopping the train as we made a mad dash to catch the 15:45 Maldon Train. To the Ticket Inspector for unlocking the doors and letting us on. It was much appreciated.
I love steam trains and this was a great way to experience a great era of Australian History. From the bottom of my heart thank you all for a magnificent experience. Please keep it up, I will be recommending it to others. I look forward to my next visit, the steam train driver experience is quite tempting. I might have to save for a while though.
Cheers,
Brenton. |
