This is for Nicki

This afternoon we were looking for an iconic photo of Bundanoon when surprise surprise this little steam engine came hurtling through the railway station

Every mystery tour ends with a train!!

@gypsy6 How true! Some things never change. This one was a complete surprise though, even to your Dad!!

[Gerry]

very nice photo Babs

[Peter H]

Great catch!

[Nicola]

And I said there was nothing to see in Bundanoon. How amazing, being in the right place at right time keeps happening for you. Great capture.

[Babs]

@gerry @peadar @winnedreamer Thanks Peter and Gerry. Nic do you think it's on its way to Maitland?

[Nicola]

Ah! I think you've just seen a preview!

[Jo]

Great shot, love that smoke. Far more character than our modern trains!!

[David Chamberlain]

Evocative of an earlier less frantic age

[Marie]

Great composition Babs .

[Paul "Snapchap" Everest]

Smashing shot! I love steam engines (hence the steampowered nickname

[Heidi]

I love trains! What a nice surprise find!

[Brennan]

Great angle

@gerry @peadar @joluise @davidgnc @marie65 @heidit @brennan1983 Thanks for your lovely comments. It was such a surprise to see it racing through the station. Just in the right place at the right time I think. A few seconds and it was gone!

[Babs]

@steampowered Thanks Paul. It was really travelling, so just happened to be in the right place. I think it is probably on its way to Maitland to the Steamfest which is on Saturday and Sunday. We are going on Sunday to the steamfest. David and Rudy go for the trains, Nicki and I go for the food!

It could be a little country station anywhere in Britain, I thought Australian stations and trains would look different!

@rhos Bundanoon railway station was built in 1868. All our early stations were built by British and European settlers, so they will look British. Before settlement the Aboriginal people certainly couldn't have built a railway, they were nomadic wanderers.

Nice capture ...
