THE TAIT GOES SOLO - Steamrail's LNY & AMRA Shuttles 2025

Welcome to this video presented by VicRailGuy Rail Media In this video, we see the Tait. Yep. Just the Tait. The Tait, the 5 cars of the Tait and nothing but the Tait. Ok maybe thats not true but the Tait went alone without a steam locomotive twice in 2025: on February 9th for the LNY shuttles from Glen Waverley to Darling, and on August 3rd for the AMRA shuttles from Flinders Street to Showgrounds. Most of the time the Tait goes on tours with a Steam locomotive, but on this occasion it was nice to see it alone. Do you prefer the Tait with or without a steam locomotive?
