Yesterday I posted the winning train in the Great Train Race at Maitland Steamfest. Here we have the second place train in the race.
I didn't have chance to take photos of the third and fourth place trains, because after visiting the Maitland Steamfest for several years we finally decided to go on one of the excursions and this was the train that we went on.
The excursion was from Maitland to Broadmeadow and then around the Carrington Coal Terminal of Port Waratah Coal Services. A very pleasant journey of about two and half hours.
Thanks to everyone who commented and fav'd yesterday's photo of The Garratt, it was a fabulous race.
@888rachel I got a couple of shots of the Tiger Moths but they were a bit blurred. there was a lot going on all at the same time and I wanted to get the photos of the trains. The Tiger Moths weren't so easy to get because the helicopters from the tv stations were filming the scene too and I thought at one point one of the helicopters was going to hit one of the tiger moths. That would have been a picture wouldn't it. Plus also not much room for me at the end of the platform to manoeuvre either.
