The NSW Railways past and present, side by side, retracing the original journey from Sydney to Parramatta 170 years later. | Transport Heritage NSW

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
