Just a standard weekend. Well not quite.
Locomotive 3642 arrives in Penrith. Note the water tower.
There was a steam train at Penrith
Locomotive 3642 in Penrith Station.
I went in to take some pictures. They were running trains between Valley Heights and Penrith (about 25 min. journey) using an old 4-6-0 engine. I had hoped that there would be a spectacular start from Penrith, as it had been raining, and the train was heavy. However they cheated by having two (!) Diesel engines on the back of the train.

No doubt this was because of it happening within the suburban electified network, but it was still disappointing.
Good to see the steam engine in action, though.
