This was the first time K190 and the Tait trains have operated at the Wattle Festival, making for a particularly special heritage operation. With K190 facing the down end and the Tait trains facing the up end, there were plenty of opportunities to catch the trains throughout the day. We followed the trains along the Hurstbridge line and captured a lot of scenic shots as K190 and the Tait trains passed through the surrounding areas, along with their movements throughout the day.
