On Sunday 7 August 2011, Steamrail Victoria operated a test run to Bacchus Marsh for R class steam locomotive R711 following a lengthy period out of service following the demise of West Coast Railway in 2004.
An added bonus was a parallel run with Lachlan Valley Railways 4204 and B65 in the Auscision Models livery on a Southern Shorthaul Railroad operated rail train along the goods line between Newport and Brooklyn.
