Rail Scene Victoria Volume 9 – The Tangerine Era

Rail Scene Victoria Volume 9 – The Tangerine Era documents one of the most visually distinctive periods in Victorian railway history, covering the VicRail and V/Line years from 1981 to 2000. This era saw the widespread adoption of the bold orange “Tangerine” livery, which became synonymous with railway operations across Victoria during a time of major organisational and operational change.

Edited by Billy Lewis and John Sargent, this volume presents a comprehensive photographic record of the Tangerine era, capturing diesel locomotives, electric locomotives, passenger trains, freight operations, and suburban services as they appeared under VicRail and later V/Line management. The book reflects a transitional period marked by corporate rebranding, service rationalisation, and evolving rolling stock fleets.

Featuring 96 pages of full-colour photography, Rail Scene Victoria Volume 9 showcases the Tangerine livery in everyday service across metropolitan and regional Victoria, making it an invaluable visual reference for Victorian railfans, Australian railway historians, modellers, and book collectors.

An essential addition to any Victorian Railways or V/Line railway book collection.
