Sydney Transport Heritage Expo 2019
This is my footage from the 2019 Sydney Transport Heritage Expo. The event featured 4 steam locos, 3 diesel locos, an electric loco, and several rail motors, along with an electric suburban train, and also vintage buses. There was also a Steam Boat in the harbour, but I was unable to capture that this time around. Photos of all the locomotives are in the video. I have also included a visit from the Kiama Picnic Train which arrived and then departed in the morning on the Saturday when I was there. The second half of the video is the 2019 Great Train Race, which sees 3265 and 6029 run parallel from Sydney's Central station out to Strathfield. Enjoy.
