Return to Red Cliffs
The Red Cliffs Historical Steam Railway was formed in 1994 under the auspices of the Red Cliffs Rotary Club to operate the restored Kerr Stuart 0-4-2T steam locomotive named 'Lukee' (B/N 742/1901) that formerly operated between Red Cliffs railway station and the Red Cliffs pumping station. A two kilometre section of the former 1600mm gauge Red Cliffs - Morkalla branch line has been converted to 610mm gauge for tourist train operation.
The train normally operates on the first Sunday of each month from 11am to 4.00pm and on Easter Saturday and the Sunday of the Queens Birthday long weekend.
The Train does not operate in January or February because of the fire danger.
In 2004 Red Cliffs Historical Railway purchased an EM Baldwin diesel locomotive which after extensive renovation by members Russell Savage and John Page was commissioned in June 2005. Named 'Harry' the Locomotive regularly shares running days with 'Lukee' and gives the Railway the flexibility of one off specials.
Red Cliffs Historical Steam Railway is located on the corner of the Calder Hwy and Millewa Rd Red Cliffs and is approximately two kilometres from the Red Cliffs township.
