The Blues Train was founded by Hugo T. Armstrong in 1994[1] and is operated in partnership with Bay City Events and the Bellarine Railway[2] as an homage to the history of the blues musicians playing on the Mississippi freight trains. The Blues Train travels along 16 km of railway between the towns of Queenscliff and Drysdale with an intermediate stop at Suma Park, on the Bellarine Peninsula and the passengers rotate in order to see all performers.[3]
