Today was the Steamfest Great Train Race with four steam locos vs four tiger
moths. I decided to go to Warabrook station for the action and was not disappointed.
Four steam trains on four main lines at the same time was a very impressive sight.
 |
| 4x82s going to Kooragang Island to unload |
 |
| 4490 leading 5917s train to the start line |
 |
| GL102 leading 3016s train to the starting area |
 |
| GL106 leading 6029s train to the starting area |
 |
| NTAF7079H former ESSO petrol tank wagon built by Tulloch now used as a water jin for the Garratt (thanks for spelling lesson Col) |
 |
| Two of the four tiger moths flying around |
 |
| And last but not least 4001 leading 3642s train into position |
 |
| And they are off and racing |
 |
| And the obligatory trailing shot |

Thanks for sharing Matthew. Looks like I missed out on a great weekend. I'm headed to Newcastle next month for a well-earned break. Any tips for some good train photography spots? Was going to do a little exploring of the rail scene around Newy.
