Puffing Billy Railway, Heritage railway in Dandenong Ranges, Australia.
The 762mm narrow gauge railway extends through forests and farmland from Belgrave to Gembrook, covering scenic sections of the Dandenong Ranges.
The railway started operations in 1900 as one of five Victorian Railways narrow gauge lines, serving farming and timber communities until its closure in 1954.
The Puffing Billy Preservation Society, formed in 1955, maintains the railway's operations and authenticity, reflecting practices from the early twentieth century.
The railway operates daily services between Belgrave and Lakeside stations, with additional routes to Gembrook available from Friday through Sunday.
Passengers can sit on the carriage sills of open-sided carriages while traveling through mountain ash forests and fern gullies.
