150 years of trains in the Blue Mountains

An important anniversary is looming for train tragics in the Mountains and Valley Heights Rail Museum volunteers are keen to see it remembered.

The line between Penrith and Wentworth Falls opened 150 years ago in July, and to mark the occasion a VIP steam train will power up the Mountains from Central on Friday July 21 with a special ceremony at Wentworth Falls later that day. Ticketed steam train rides will also run on the Mountains line all weekend to help the community celebrate.
