Australia - Pichi-Pichi Coffee Pot run status for 2016
Author: frntinplate

I see that two trips are shown for the Coffee Pot in 2016 (June and October). Are there any photo charters planned where tickets can be obtained?

thanks

Don't know the answer to your question but here's a photo of the Coffee Pot in action from an IRT tour in 1995. Taken just south of Woolshed Flat. I rode it one way and talked myself into the car of a local photographer/author on the return to get this and several other locations.

Yep, I saw their schedule a while back, but April is too close to plan a trip that has no details posted yet.  Memos to the musuem have not resulted in any information, so I was trying to find out if other groups had been making plans for later in the year. Advertised charters and such seem to be hard to find out about in advance down under.

Jack, thanks for the video. That's quite a fascinating railcar and railway.
It's in pretty good shape for something that's over a hundred years old!
