About this audio guide
This guide to the Puffing Billy Railway near Melbourne opens on the seventh of March 2018, when a minibus misjudges a level crossing near Menzies Creek and collides with the moving steam train, suspending a tradition riders had loved since the 1920s. It follows the railway's slow, cautious effort to rebuild trust in its carriages and crossings over the years that follow. Listen for the trestle bridge and the gully on the line down to Gembrook.
