Last weekend 3081 visited Dubbo. This is 3801.



It's a streamlined 38 "Pacific" class engine from the 1930s, restored and now pulling 1929 vintage carriages on tourist runs around the state. It was booked out so I had to chase it by road to get my photos. There were a lot of us steam tragics in the convoys.

Trains are just soooooooooooooooooooo romantic *grins*. Steam trains especially.

One of these days I'll do the Canadiana, from Truro Nova Scotia, to Vancouver BC.... in a cabin,... shades of the Orient express indeed, it's a wonderful trip.

For all my love of aviation, I grew up around trains, by grandfather and his brothers were all railroad men, and my dad had a lifelong love affair with trains. I grew up riding the trains, long before I met my first plane at 13.
