Victorian Goldfields Railway, Heritage railway in Castlemaine, Australia.

The Victorian Goldfields Railway is a heritage rail line operating between Castlemaine and Maldon stations with restored steam locomotives and period carriages. The route passes through the central Victorian countryside in an area where gold mining once took place.

The Castlemaine–Maldon line opened on 16 June 1884, after residents had petitioned for a railway since 1874. Trains ran twice daily for its first forty years, rising to four daily in 1924, but services were cut back at the end of the 1920s as the local population fell. Passenger services ended during World War II, leaving only a weekly goods train to Shelbourne; the line closed on 3 December 1976 and reopened as a tourist railway from 1986.

Locomotive K160 carried the number K157 during the 1999 Steamfreight event, and the plate on its side still shows that number in photographs. The railway also runs themed trains such as Ales on Rails and a Murder on the Orient Express service, alongside Driver and Footplate Experiences on the Maldon–Muckleford legs.

Scheduled services run on Wednesdays and Sundays with different carriage classes available through advance online booking. The round trip takes about two hours, so plan your timing accordingly.

Locomotive K160 carried the number K157 during the Steamfreight '99 weekend in July 1999, and the plate reading "K 157" can still be seen on its side. The same event ran a triple-headed goods train with K157, T333 and F212.
