Experience the excitement of a steam train trip behind former Victorian Railways Steam Locomotive R766 as The Picnic Train presents a very special day of journeys between Wagga Wagga and Cootamundra. Travelling each way via the famous 'Bethungra Spiral'. Listen to the steam engine work hard as it climbs the spiral and look back where you have just travelled only a few minutes before. This is not one to miss!

Enjoy a four-hour journey from Wagga Wagga to Cootamundra and return in beautifully restored heritage train carriages dating back to the 1930s. Listen to the steam locomotive chuff along as it pulls the train through the countryside. ​At Cootamundra you can stretch your legs and get up close and personal with R766. A great day out for children, families and friends!
