Another random helping of the railways steamiest.
Join us for a rare chance to ride behind steam along the branchline to Boree Creek.
This branch, which originally extended to Oaklands, normally only sees seasonal wheat traffic and we believe it has been over three decades since a steam locomotive last made its way out there.

5910 made a visit to the BHP Steelworks in Port Kembla and did a run up to the Kemira Valley with BRONZEWING.
The orange diesel is English Electric D6. This locomotive was lovingly restored by steelworks workers, only to later be left to rot for many years and the, quite disgustingly, scrapped. It had been set aside for preservation.
