- Synopsis:
For well over 100 years, steam locomotives battled the grades west over Australia's western cities of Bathurst, Orange and Dubbo. The Through West Mail, probably best known of all night mail trains, left Sydney nightly for its 289 mile run to Dubbo, and was steam hauled until 1967 when all steam operations out west ceased forever. On the Queen's birthday weekend of June 1989, this spectacular long gone steam event was recreated but this time with an added attraction never seen in the train's 100 years of regular running. The recreation of the Night Mail was hauled from Sydney to Dubbo by world famous 4472 Flying Scotsman and Australia's famous C38 Class Pacific 3801 and triple heading for part of the journey with S Class Suburban Tank 3112. - Studio:
