The heritage railway is sharing behind-the-scenes virtual tours on its Facebook page.
In the tours, you can visit the locomotive workshop or Menzies Creek Museum, meet a train driver or fireman, experience the flora and fauna of the Dandenong Ranges, or jump on board the diesel-hauled train for a trackwork trip along the line.
