Puffing Billy - Melbourne’s best day out on a 100 year old railway

Today we take a look at one of Australia's most famous heritage - Puffing Billy.
Since 1900, Australia’s premier preserved steam railway has transported over 11 million passengers through the magnificent landscapes and lush greenery of the Dandenong Ranges.
For more than 100 of those operating years, Puffing Billy Railway has shared a truly iconic experience that cannot be found anywhere else in the world - sitting on the sill of our traditional open-side carriages with your legs hanging out!
Special thanks to Josh Chaffey for the extra footage and the good times!

Seems like a brand-new video. I have not been on Puffing Billy for years and I think it has improved since my time. Thanks for the lovely tour.

I did this back in 2015 when I was on holiday in Australia. Not been back since so thanks for covering this!

Was on Puffing Billy in 2018, and unfortunately we we'rent allowed to sit on the side due an accident several months before. When I visit again next year, hopefully will be able to do it then.

I think Puffing Billy is used as an excuse to prevent extending an electrified Belgrave train line. But as long as tourists and kiddies are happy right.

was a little fun as a kid. seems boring as an adult with kids. also it's Mel-Bur-Nian not MEL-BOORE-NIAN. you might be from elsewhere in Aus, but most people know how to pronounce it correctly. its the same as when the head of the IOC saying Syd-er-ny won the 2000 olympics. hits the ear wrong completely. you wouldn't say Bris_bayne or Hob-art. you sound american pronouncing it like that
