150th Anniversary of NSW Railways - Official Train - September 26th, 2005. 

You certainly have some great footage Bevan! Thankyou for sharing it with us. I doubt we will see such a sight again, two 4-4-0s, on the mainline with the Pullman cars and no diesel assistance.

There is something magical with steam on a wet day. Thanks for this magical video.

The sight of double heading 4-4-0's is just magic ! Awsome footage.

I came down from Tuggerah on a V set with my dad, was such an amazing event!

That was the last time we ever saw 1709 in steam, it is currently on display at Trainworks today.

I love how you can here 3801s whistle in the background as the two double headers are just leaving😁☺️🥰🇦🇺🦘

LIKE #29, This is an Amazing "Blast from the Past" - beautifully recorded 15 years ago - thanks for sharing here - Greetings

Never get tired of Steam trains and the stories told about them !

What a beautiful sight

I wonder if they will ever get one of the two z13 class engines working again cause I love those tank engines

How close to having a SPAD was that on approach to Strathfield?

Great video Bevan, even though I am not a steam enthusiast the history aspect is still worth the viewing. Bib and braces and bowler hats, now there's a fashion statement from the past! I wonder how white the driver and firemans shirts were at the end of shift? Thanks for posting it, enjoyable!

The W set made an outing for the day as the Olympic Park Lidcombe shuttle.

At the end it's like you can smell the smoke!✅🇦🇺

Nice!

When did Australia switch from European style to knuckles couplers?

New south wales Australia, two lovely Australian T9's?
