Saturday 10 October 2020
An opportunity has provided the ARHS NSW Division and The Rail Motor Society to organise a special rail
tour to Rylstone. The railway to Rylstone, a town in the Central Tablelands of NSW, some 256 Km from Sydney
opened 0n 9th June 1884 and closed with the line on 2nd March 1992. The Line reopened on the
2nd September 2000 and closed again 30th June 2007. In 2018 the 7 Km section from Kandos was refurbished
to enable heritage trains to visit the Kandos – Rylstone Heritage precinct. Our tour has been given permission to
travel along the re-opened extension from Kandos to Rylstone Station on the currently truncated Mudgee line by
the Country Rail operator John Holland.
On Saturday 10th October 2020 our train will consist of the heritage CPH Rail Motors from The Rail Motor
Society at Paterson. A departure from Sydney Central is expected around 7.40am. Enjoy a Devonshire Morning
Tea served at your seat while you admire the scenery as the train crosses the Great Dividing Range through
the Blue Mountains. At Wallerawang we take the branch line through Piper’s Flat, Portland, Cullen Bullen,
Ben Bullen and onwards through the magnificent Capertee Valley. Continue, passing Clandulla, Charbon and
Kandos to our destination at Rylstone for lunch. There is the option to bring a picnic lunch or enjoy a lunch
at the various cafes or hotels in the town. After lunch, take a walk along Rylstone’s Main Street taking in the
historic buildings and life of what is now a quiet country town before returning to the Station.
Re-join the train for a 3.00pm departure that is due to return to Sydney Central by 8.30pm. Afternoon tea will
be served as we return through the afternoon glow so spectacular in the Capertee Valley. The train will pick up
and set down at Strathfield, Parramatta, Blacktown and Penrith.
The Rail Cars will be travelling to Sydney on the Friday to be in place at Central for the Saturday morning
departure. A bus will be provided to transfer passengers from Rylstone station to the CBD.
Tour Notes will be available on departure from Sydney.
