Don’t miss this rare opportunity to travel on The Picnic Train on ‘The Short North’ as we head for Sydney for our Kiama Picnic Trains. Travel behind Baldwin steam locomotive 5917 on our transfer train from Maitland or Broadmeadow to Gosford or Woy Woy ONE WAY

Our transfer train will depart from Maitland heading along the Hunter Valley coal lines to our second pick up stop at Broadmeadow. We will then head along the 'Short North' between Broadmeadow and Gosford. This route was one of the last strong-holds for steam engines in the early 1970s — an area where the 59 Class was very prominent. Our first set-down stop is Gosford, shortly followed by Woy Woy. Both of these locations have regular Sydney Trains services returning to the Hunter region (Sydney Trains tickets need to be purchased separately). 

Unfortunately we cannot offer passage beyond Woy Woy.
