PhotoSportive.net was at the Great Train Race, 2005. 

The race pits runners against the train in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges in Victoria. The race goes 13.2km from Belgrave to Emerald Lake Park - the famous Puffing Billy line.

 Puffing Billy's 'big brother' the locomotive "G42" is the steam train the runners are trying to beat. 

The 2005 race took G42 just 56"42s to travel from Belgrave to Emerald Lake Park.
