On Saturday, a historic diesel will depart Maitland at 9am for a trip to Gosford where riders will be able to enjoy a day out on the waterfront, before returning at 4.20pm.
The following day travelers will have the opportunity to enjoy a special side by side run with Steam Locomotive 5917 as they ride in a streamliner diesel train from Maitland to Waratah. The train will depart Maitland at 9.10am, returning at 12.05pm.
Funds raised from the trips will go towards the $100,000 overhaul of Locomotive 5917.
