Kandos Explorer 2025

On Saturday 27 September East Coast Heritage Rail operated our popular annual tour to the historic town of Kandos. Crossing the Great Dividing Range and passing through the captivating Capertee Valley guests were treated to panoramic views of some of the most beautiful landscapes in Australia—perfect for lovers of history, heritage, and scenic travel.

Guests had 2.5 hours in historic Kandos to visit Kandos Musem, explore the local shops and eateries or wander through the quaint streets and explore the town’s historic buildings.

Once again locomotives 42103 and 42105 were the motive power stopping at Clandulla to place one locomotive on the rear train for the run into Kandos where there are no shunting facilities. This was repeated on the return trip to place the two locos on the front for the run back to Sydney.

A successful tour was topped off with a slightly early arrival back at Central ending quite a long but enjoyable day.
