Join us for a steam hauled Picnic Train day journey to Goulburn and return.
One of our heritage diesels will haul the train from Sydney Central Station to Enfield Yard where our mighty steam locomotive R766 will take over.
Experience the excitement of a steam train trip behind locomotive R766 from Enfield to Goulburn. Sit back and relax as you travel through the beautiful Southern Highlands. Upon arrival at Goulburn you will have plenty of time for lunch or to go and visit the Goulburn Fair (tickets purchased seperately)
