It was a fully booked train with heritage carriages, including a parlour car 'Yarra', and staff car 'Mitta Mitta', filled with passengers who had either booked to dine on the train or headed into Tocumwal for dinner.

After 15 years of dedication and service, Club Tocumwal has bid a heartfelt farewell to Lorraine Williams, a cherished member of the Club Tocumwal family.
