Canberra’s Steam Engine 1210 Resting On Kingston Plinth
The 1914 steam engine 1210, which drew Canberra’s first train, was placed on its final rest on February 10. Towed to Kingston by an Army tank, it now sits bright green outside Canberra Railway Station, a popular tourist landmark along Wentworth Avenue. Built in England, it served on NSW branch lines before retirement.
