SANTA'S TRAIN
NSW RAIL MUSEUM
Saturday 30 November & Sunday 1 December 2019
Direct from the North Pole, don’t miss Santa’s Train at the NSW Rail Museum for one weekend only!
Take a 45-minute ride aboard an historic steam train along the Thirlmere Heritage Railway from Thirlmere to Buxton and return, meet Santa on-board and enjoy the scenery!
EVENT UPDATE
Please note: this event was previously promoted as 'Santa's Steam Train'. However, due to the ongoing unprecedented weather conditions and associated high bushfire danger, the NSW Rail Museum has decided it will not be operating steam for the remainder of 2019.
​
'Santa’s Steam Train' will now be hauled by diesel engine.
All departure times and fares remain unchanged.
The NSW Rail Museum apologises for any disappointment this may cause and appreciates your understanding.



FOOD & DRINK OPTIONS
The NSW Rail Museum Cafe will be open both days.
Self-serve BBQ facilities are also available on a first come, first served basis.
You’re welcome to pack a picnic – don’t forget a rug!
