On June 24 2018, Southern Shorthaul Railroad operated their first grain train on the Mildura line since it was recently converted from broad to standard gauge as part of the Murray Basin Rail Project in taking place in Victoria's North/West region.
The train loaded at Birchip and ran as #7984 bound for Appleton Dock in Melbourne.
Travelling on the standard gauge lines in the state, the journey from Birchip saw the train run south to Maryborough, then west to Ararat along the cross country line which reopened in Feb 2018.
From Ararat the train headed via Cressy to North Geelong, then onto Melbourne from there.
