Locomotive 3801 returns to the NSW Rail Museum

Virtual tour - 3801 Drivers Cab

LOCOMOTIVE 3801 STEAMS AGAIN! 🤩 On Saturday 28 March, we had the pleasure of steaming locomotive 3801 for the first time since receiving its shiny new coat of paint. During this period of social distancing and in place of last weekend’s planned relaunch, we put together this short video as a small way of recognising the thousands of volunteer and staff hours put into the project. 👏 You can also now view images 📸 and more footage 🎥 of the locomotive in its shiny green livery at www.thnsw.com.

🚂🌫🌫🌫 Steam locomotive 3801 heads diesel-electric locomotives 4201 and 4501 as the triple-header powers through Bethungra in southern NSW, on the way to Junee ahead of the final leg to Albury. Nearly 60 years after being withdrawn from service, the newly restored locomotive 3801 passed through Junee today on route to Albury for the Easter long weekend. Following a 10 year restoration project, the iconic "Legend of Steam” returned to service last month and set out on a state wide regional tour

The wait is over! Following a decade long restoration, Transport Heritage NSW is pleased to announce the return of locomotive 3801. 🥳 3801 will return to service with a weekend of steam train rides in Sydney on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 March 2021, followed by a program of day trips and visits to regional NSW. The relaunch marks a new era for 3801 as it returns to the tracks for the first time since 2007 and inspires a new generation of rail fans. To book your tickets for the relaunch weekend a
