HAPPY BIRTHDAY NSW RAILWAYS! 🥳 Today marks 165 years since the opening of the first railway line in New South Wales, between Sydney and Parramatta. People gathered in their thousands along the 22km stretch of line to catch a glimpse of the first official train, which left Sydney at 11.20am to a 21 gun salute. The first day of operations included six return passenger services with 3,554 tickets issued in total. Rare examples from those early years of the NSW railways survive today and are on pub

Last Friday, we marked 170 years of NSW Railways. Recreating the first Sydney–Parramatta journey from 1855, steam locomotive 3526 ran side-by-side with Vintage Electric Set F1 and the newest Mariyung intercity train. A powerful reminder of 170 years of progress, innovation and rail heritage in action. Special thanks to the NSW Government, Historic Electric Traction and our very own members, volunteers and staff for joining us. | Transport Heritage NSW
