Sydney Central Station - 110th Anniversary - Modern Generation

On Thursday 4th August 2016, Sydney Central Station turned 110 years old. This is a Station that has come a long way from 1906, when it first opened, to 2016, where we are now. Since the 1990’s, and into the 21st Century, Central Station has seen a number of changes. The Station has become the largest Railway Station in Australia, with 25 Platforms.

The Station over it’s journey has hosted some wonderful events. From the 150th Anniversary of the NSW Railways in 2005, to the Station’s 100th Anniversary in 2006, and the now annual Sydney Great Train Weekend and Rail Safety Week.

In this video, we will see photo’s and footage of the Station and Trains in the modern generation. Throughout the video, you will see pieces of writing, which is explaining the history of Central Station. There are a number of trains that come to and from Central Station, which include the Sydney Trains and the NSW TrainLink Suburban and Intercity Services, Heritage Trains, both Steam and Diesel, and on the occasion, Freight Locomotives, mainly for Trackwork.

I think we should all appreciate what a great Station Central is, and how far it’s come since it first opened in 1906.

ENJOY!
