- The Great Steam Train Race at Hunter Valley Steamfest.
The 2023 race was between 4 steam locomotive hauled trains, with locos 3801, 5917, 6029 & R766. Made possible with the complete closure to regular services on both the Main and Coal lines.
The race commenced at Waratah in Newcastle and finished at Maitland.
This video taken from onboard 5917's train. For most of the race, on the adjacent 3801's train was visible.

3801 is a rocket ship, 80 years old and can outperform any other ‘high speed train’ In Australia 😮
I would like to see a true race between 3801 and R766, both are passenger express locos, so it would be a great thing to see.
What an awesome event and fantastic footage. Thank you for sharing. So cool!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Great footage... just a shame we lost the other two so early in the video...would have been a sight to see with the 4 of them abreast all the way, I absolutely love all the old steam trains but the Green Machine 3801 is my fave.....kudos to all the volunteers and enthusiasts that keep these beautiful machines running and in such pristine condition... it would be my absolute dream to ride the footplate of 3801.......
Amazing footage! I was on the Garratt's train. Fantastic day.
That was totally cool, wish they had something like that here in the States! (Dave).
Yes. A very friendly track owner required. Hopefully one day.
Someone told me we are the only country that has Steam Train racing 🏁

My grandfather fired and drove the 3801 as well as meeting my grandmother on the Newcastle flyer back in 50s. I'm so happy she's still going today 🙂❤
Wow! That's amazing, hopefully you've got to ride behind her!

Good evening. I am making a train documentary, a sequel to my previous one I made last year.
With your permission, would it be okay to use your footage of The Great Train Race? Textless and without watermarks. You will be credited for filming it.
Thanks for your time, and hope to hear from you.
Slowest steam engines I've ever seen
You mustn't have seen many!
