Australia Day Goods Line Tour

Our Australia Day Goods Line Tour was a huge success with both morning and afternoon trips well patronised. This year our train, hauled top and tail by X54 and 42103, travelled all the way to the Botany Freight Terminal.

Departing from Central Station guests enjoyed a unique 3-hour rail journey through Sydney’s hidden freight network with a behind-the-scenes look at the crucial rail lines that keep Sydney moving, traveling on tracks where passenger trains rarely go.

* Highlights of the day were;
* Sydney Freight Network
* Enfield Marshalling Yard & NSW Ports Intermodal Logistics Centre
* Port Botany
* XPT Service Centre
* Sydney SouthWest Metro

We hope to make this an annual event providing a limited opportunity to explore Sydney’s hidden railways.

FRN 2186 Returns to Sydney!

Exciting News: FRN 2186 Returns to Sydney!

We’re thrilled to announce the return of FRN 2186 to Sydney after a lengthy hiatus. The former New South Wales Government Railways N-Type buffet car has been undergoing extensive restoration work at the Goulburn Locomotive Roundhouse, including essential external and bogie repairs.

Now back in Sydney, FRN 2186 will undergo further interior improvements to ensure it’s ready to rejoin our operational fleet in the coming weeks.

A huge thank you to our incredible volunteers who dedicate their time and expertise to maintaining our fleet of heritage carriages. Your hard work keeps these pieces of rail history running.

We can’t wait to see FRN 2186 running on our trains again soon.
