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!
