Thank a First Responder Day – Train of Lights | Emerald

In celebration of Thank a First Responder Day, prepare to be spellbound as this mesmerising winter steam train, adorned with thousands of dazzling lights and stunning visual effects, illuminates the trees, tracks, and passing towns once more, captivates passengers with its magical charm.

Departing from Lakeside Station, the Train of Lights will embark on a two-and-a-half-hour return journey that chugs along the historic narrow-gauge track to Gembrook. Partnering with acclaimed lighting specialists, Resolution X (White Night, Melbourne Fashion Festival), this stunning evening experience will come to life with sparkling lights, hypnotic patterns, and vivid colours that dance across the open rolling hills of the Gembrook countryside.
