Description

A surprising variety of industrial steam survived beyond government railway operations. In many cases, enthusiasts could observe these workings well over a decade after the demise of main line steam. Historic motive power continued to be employed from coal haulage in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales to Queensland’s narrow gauge sugar cane locomotives.
With the main focus on Hunter Valley steam, other areas include preserved ex-industrial steam across every state, in all over twenty locomotive types.
