Steam Train zooms thru our station

Last weekend, a special event was planned where an old fashioned steam train would leave from Central Station in Sydney and travel to the Zig Zag Railway in the Blue Mountains.

Seeing as all our children are train nuts, my hubby thought it would be a great idea to take the kids down to our local station to watch the train go through. I let my son take my camera with him so he could get a few shots as it went through.Unfortunately, the train went through the station faster than a Tangara, so DS only managed to get a few shots before the darned train was gone!!!!

Anyway, the shots he did get were really good (I edited them a little to get clearer/closer views) and here they are for your viewing pleasure. As always, you can click on the images for a larger image.
Here it comes . . . .
Same photo, edited and zoomed in to get a better shot of the trainHeading out again . . . Going, going . . . . .
Gone!!!
The kids loved watching the train go by - my youngest DD commented that there was even smoke coming out of the train (hehehe - the steam).

Bye again!!
