3801 Limited Tourist Railways (Australia)
The The Cockatoo Run offers the scenic delights of the South Coast and Southern Highlands in one package. Your train whistles out of Sydney at 9.00am taking you across the expanse of the Georges River and through the Royal National Park (the first declared National Park in the world). Emerging from the gloom of the Otford Tunnel your train crosses the Impressive Stanwell Park Viaduct and skirts the seacliffs and beaches to Wollongong. After leaving Wollongong the train starts it's steep ascent of the Illawarra Escarpment through coastal rainforest to Summit Tank - a climb of 600 metres in only 16 kilometres. At Summit Tank there is a pause where you will be rewarded with panoramic views over Lake Illawarra and the South Coast to Kiama. The train is hauled by a heritage diesel locomotive and consists of fully restored 1930's carriages. 3801 Limited also offers special tours and can supply a train or carriage to suit any occasion from corporate functions to a special birthday treat. For large numbers a full train charter may be a unique way to show off the scenic wonders of the NSW countryside. For a small group a carriage charter on one of our regular tours can provide an ideal venue for a private group. We have a fleet of lovingly restored heritage carriages to suit any purpose.
