The Snow Train travelled through Pakenham on Saturday 13 August with 500 passengers aboard.
About 400 people were dropped off at Moe to experience the snow at Mount Baw Baw, with the other quarter spending the day in historic Walhalla.
Steamrail Victoria operations manager Lionel Camilleri said the Snow Train was running at limited times due to ongoing rail works.
“We could only run two Snow Train rides this year due to level crossing upgrade works that will continue into next year, so we’ll only be able to run the Snow Train at limited times,” Mr Camilleri said.
The Snow Train is organised by Steamrail Victoria volunteers, with train crews hired from V/Line to operate the train on the network.
The train is a 350 metre long express passenger locomotive pulling 14 carriages.
Mr Camilleri said there were more than 1,000 people lined up on the side of the tracks from Melbourne CBD right through to Traralgon to catch a glimpse of the train.
“Our team reported that there were so many people watching the train go past,” he said.
“Works are ongoing right through the line, but we’re very keen to continue the Snow Train offering and we will run it as often as we can in the coming year.”
The Snow Train season has now come to an end for 2022.
This Saturday 20 August, Steamrail Victoria is holding The Spirit of Warragul event which has a seven carriage steam locomotive head into the West Gippsland Hills and spend a day in the rural town of Warragul.
