Mr Shifter loves steam power so when a classic steam train was coming to Gosford we made sure we were going for a ride on it.
We were lucky enough to travel on it when it came up from Canberra to do some trips from Gosford to Hawkesbury and return. These two stations were chosen as they are two of just a handfull that still have operating water tanks for steam locomotives.

The engine is the Beyer-Garratt 6029 locomotive which was once owned by the Canberra Railway Museum. It is now privately owned and housed at the NSW Rail Museum in Thirlmere.
