From the Maitland Mercury report:
Almost 200 people took an historic steam train ride to mark three significant occasions in the region’s history.
On Friday, two restored locomotives that hauled Hunter Valley coal for much of the last century chugged their way along the South Maitland Railway as part of the 30th anniversary celebrations for the Hunter Valley Training Company.
The ride also commemorated the 125th anniversary of the discovery of the Greta Coal Seam and 100th anniversary of the arrival of one of the restored locomotives.
