First Train to Canberra Repeats Historic Run
NSW Government Railways locomotive 1210, which pulled Canberra’s first train in 1914, will run a final trip from Sydney to Canberra on a special excursion by the Steam Tram and Railways Preservation Society. Engine 1243 will help on January 27, then 1210 is mounted on a plinth at Canberra Station while four cars return to Sydney.
