For the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, it was entirely appropriate for conveniently numbered power car 2000 to be chosen to promote them. Here we see it at Hornsby in the early morning sun making its pick-up stop on its way to Brisbane in December 2000. Hornsby is an important junction on the Sydney rail network. It is where the suburban North Shore Line (out of sight to the left) which has come from Sydney Central via the Harbour Bridge meets the main line to the north which has come from Central via Strathfield, as this XPT has done.

More of Rob’s travels in NSW, Victoria, South Australia and a bit of Queensland in 1990, 1998 and 2000, featuring a wide range of locations and motive power showing some of the changes that took place in that decade as the political structure of the railways was changing and a new generation of diesels was starting to appear. There will also be some views of museums and heritage operations.

Please note this is a virtual meeting with joining from around 19:00 for a 19:30 start. There is no charge for the meeting but donations can be made by clicking on the ‘organiser’ link below – many thanks.
