A new boiler is needed for the locomotive as the one that has been used is too badly worn to be steamed again. This video shows the train slowly heading through Picton station NSW at 1136pm on the 12 May 2009. The video was taken by a good mate, and a fellow gunzel. I am across on the other platform........
Steam train in the Sydney Underground - 5910 - Wynyard - April 1993
Steam locomotive 5910, assisted by electric locomotive 8610 passes through Wynyard station in Sydney's Underground network on April 12th, 1993.
The footage was recorded in Easter 1993. That was when the main north was shut between Hornsby and Strathfield resulting in the Brisbane and Murwillumbah XPT services, the loco hauled Grafton express and a limited number of freights being diverted via the North Shore. Footage of the alcos on the Grafton express smoking up the underground has been on YouTube for a while, and scenes of the XPTs on the Harbour Bridge and in Wynyard have been uploaded recently. 5910 had spent Easter working the RTM's epic Grand Circle Steam Safari tour to Coota - Parkes - Dubbo - Newcastle and was on the last leg of the trip returning to Sydney on the Monday night. The only other time in the 90s that 5910, or any other steam loco for that matter, travelled through Wynyard and over the bridge was on March 15th, 1992, when it ran to Hornsby and then spent the day hauling shuttles from there to North Sydney.
