点评:The vintage train ride over a few kilometres from Daylesford to Passing Clouds via Musk Creek shortened to Musk was an enjoyable experience. The Victorian Railways twin carriage set, branded as Walker Railmotor in Navy blue and Yellow livery had very comfortable seats and good leg space for passengers. To get to its destination it passed through farmlands, a forest and some water holes which appeared to be natural ponds. End carriage consisted of a series of passenger seats and the one at the very end could accommodate two people from where a grand view of the track and the passing beautiful scenery could be taken. On the return journey the train driver operated the train from this end and it was interesting to observe how the controls worked.
Platform at Daylesford was arranged to re-enact how luggage was taken to the railway carriages and it was dressed with old advertising bills connected to tourism promotion in the area. The station was also a railway museum with other old rail motor locomotives, goods wagons and rolling stock, track laying and maintenance machinery, scale models and other items used in this mode of transport. Issuance of tickets was in the same old fashion through a grilled counter and it was manned by a very friendly staff member. This counter was used to sell souvenirs too. Our tickets were clipped in the way it was done in the last century and the friendly train driver gave us some insight to the Daylesford Spa Country Railway. We enjoyed both the train journey and the journey to the by gone era.
翻译:从戴尔斯福德到 Passing Clouds 的复古火车之旅,途经 Musk Creek 再到 Musk,全程几公里,是一次愉快的体验。维多利亚铁路的双车厢,标有 Walker Railmotor 字样,采用海军蓝和黄色涂装,座位非常舒适,乘客腿部空间宽敞。到达目的地时,火车穿过农田、森林和一些水坑,这些水坑似乎是天然池塘。末端车厢由一系列乘客座位组成,最末端的座位可容纳两人,从那里可以欣赏到铁轨和沿途美丽风景的壮丽景色。回程时,火车司机从这一端操作火车,观察控制装置的工作方式很有趣。
戴尔斯福德的站台被布置成重现行李被带到火车车厢的过程,并贴满了与该地区旅游推广相关的旧广告。该站也是一个铁路博物馆,里面还有其他旧式火车机车、货车和机车车辆、轨道铺设和维护机械、比例模型以及这种运输方式使用的其他物品。售票方式与旧方式相同,通过一个格栅柜台,柜台上有一个非常友好的工作人员。这个柜台也用来卖纪念品。我们的票是按照上个世纪的方式剪下来的,友好的火车司机给我们介绍了戴尔斯福德温泉乡村铁路。我们既喜欢火车之旅,也喜欢回到过去的时代。
