Moss Vale Picnic Train

Step back in time and experience the golden age of rail travel on an unforgettable steam-powered journey behind their powerful historic steam locomotive R766. Departing first from Sydney's iconic Central Station behind the heritage diesels, sit back and relax as they whisk you through Sydney's suburbs before Steam Locomotive R766 is attached to power the train up through the Southern Highlands. This full-day adventure winds through scenic countryside on the way to the charming towns of Bowral or Moss Vale.

​Perfect for families, friends, and group outings, this is more than just a train ride — it's a day of nostalgia, exploration, and old-world charm. Watch in awe as plumes of steam billow into the sky, hear the whistle echo through the valleys, and feel the thrill of travelling as generations once did.

Disembark to enjoy free time in either Bowral or Moss Vale, with plenty of cafés, gardens, shops, and sights to discover. Whether you're sipping hot chocolate in a cosy café or browsing boutique stores, there's something for everyone.
