Terrain Tunnel Push-Pull Tour

   
 

Saturday 29th October 2005 saw SETS' Terrain Tunnel Push-Pull Tour. Utilising SETS' own locomotive, 8606, and Silverton's 8644 as distributed power (push-pull), the tour traversed the City Circle, Airport and East Hills lines to Glenfield; the Harris Park Y-Link to Katoomba and Lithgow; and the Bankstown line and Eastern Suburbs Railway to Bondi Junction.

8606 trailed the train from Glenfield, and is shown here at the rear of the train on the down platform at Lithgow. Shortly after, the train was transferred to the up platform for return to Sydney, with 8606 leading.
