2014
This year was a little disappointing. The only heritage cars I found were the Ford, parked in the car parks on Armstrong St, and the two cars from "Doctor Blake Mysteries" parked outside MADE (Museum of Australian Democracy at Eureka). The Mining Exchange had nothing interesting (i.e. a fashion show and "Build Ballarat Out Of Cardboard" for the kids), unlike last year where a number of organisations had stalls around the edges.
Locos were K153 and Y112 running to Lal Lal Blocking Point again. Photos from before the first shuttle of the day, the last shuttle, and the carriages being put to bed for the night. A tamping machine and ballast regulator were also parked at Ballarat for the works on the Maryborough / Ararat lines.
