I won't be here much tomorrow. I have a train to catch! 
Eight of us are travelling to Dwellingup in Western Australia. In the evening, we’ll be boarding a train and having dinner on board while it goes a certain distance then returns. We’re staying the night in the town and returning home Sunday morning.
It used to be a steam train but I think now it will be diesel because of the risk of bushfires and probably just the convenience. Volunteers run the train and they are all elderly. Cranking up a steam engine calls for a lot of effort, not to mention expertise.
Hopefully, I'll have some photos to show on Sunday or Monday.

Now let me see if I have understood You are boarding a train. It goes a distance and then returns. You eat your dinneer in the train. What do you see in that distance. Is that the purpose of the travel or just a train experience?

I like the Aussie accent and the way they inculcate the word 'mate' in every conversation.
