      - Interstate and long distance SA Tours and Special Events




Prior to the ARHS SA Division being restricted to running solely on the Victor Harbor branch in 1999 it operated enthusiast trains to a wide range of locations across the State. Most of these tours featured steam and diesel locomotives and rollingstock now utilised on the SteamRanger Heritage Railway

Each tour was described by a specially produced brochure. A representative collection of these brochures has been preserved and can be viewed here. The brochures are categorised under geographical headings. This sheet covers longer distance tours, both interstate and to distant SA locations as well as special SteamRanger events, arranged by destination and then by year of operation.
