This month marks 50 years since Australia’s greatest steam train journey, the Western Endeavour.
On 22 August 1970, locomotives 3801 and 3813 departed Sydney for Perth, on a journey that would become the first crossing of the Australian continent by steam train.
To mark this historic occasion, THNSW has produced this short video featuring members involved in the journey and rarely seen footage from the ABC Archives.
An in-depth 10 page feature story on the Western Endeavour is contained in the Winter 2020 edition of Roundhouse. Purchase your copy at the NSW Rail Museum online store - www.nswrailmuseum.com.au/shop
