Nothing like the whistle on an R class to wake up the CBD on a winter evening. Remember hearing the sound of the F1 cars practicing at Albert park in the CBD back in the early days.
I reckon Ill see the next one (13th of august) in south yarra unless I go on it since I saw it at north melbourne yesterday and It was waiting for a light signal and barely gave a whistle

Fantastic footage. What a sight to behold.
There was a great bit before Flinders St. where we passed the MCG and did a pretty similar display. Great night.
I was aboard last night, very surreal feel arriving into Flinders. Great video 🤙🤙
That sound. So haunting echoing off the buildings gives me shivers down my spine.
A display for the ages. Very cool
Lovely Double R Hudson are my Favorite steam loco

The Double R Hudsons return.
What time was this? Planning to be in Melbourne when the next one is running, hoping to see this.
The viaduct doesn't cross the Yarra River but runs beside it.
Nice video mate. I saw it at Cardinia Road station. It sounded very impressive.
