Puffing Billy Railway’s beloved Train of Lights event is set to enchant passengers once again from July 4 to July 20, 2025. Now in its fourth year, this immersive winter experience transforms the historic steam train into a moving light show through the Dandenong Ranges.
Departing at 6:00 PM from Lakeside Station, the 2.5-hour return journey to Gembrook offers passengers a dazzling display of lights and colours. As the train winds through the forest, open-side carriages provide panoramic views of the illuminated landscape, creating a magical atmosphere for all ages.
Upon arrival at Gembrook Station, guests can enjoy a 55-minute stopover featuring open fire pits, live music, and a sausage sizzle hosted by the Rotary Club of Emerald and District. Hot beverages and snacks are also available, adding to the festive ambiance.
Tickets are not yet on sale, but due to the event’s popularity, they are expected to sell out quickly. For more information and to sign up for notifications, visit the official Puffing Billy Railway website.
