🤔 Ever wondered what a tank locomotive was used for?

🚂 These compact engines were ideal for short-distance jobs. They could manoeuvre tricky turns with ease, and thanks to the lack of a tender, many were able to run bi-directional. As such, tank locomotives, such as locomotive 2029, were prefect for branch lines, which were shorter and often didn't have turning facilities.

📜 Originally designed to haul coal in the Hunter Valley, the 20-class also served across the branch lines in the outer suburbs of Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong.

🛠 These lines were built cheaply, featuring steep grades and sharp curves, which 2029 and its fellow classmates could easily handle - as long as the trainload was not too ambitious!

👀 You can find 2029 - which is the last of its class remaining - in our Great Train Hall!

🚂 2 July 1860 Blacktown railway station was opened as 'Black Town Road' with the construction of the Main Western railway line. Captain Martindale, the colony's chief engineer was not happy with work done by contractor John Gibbons and refused to issue a certificate for work done.

Not happy with the decision Gibbons told his men to remove 3 portions of the track near Parramatta. He was arrested and placed in the Parramatta Watch House before being released on bail. Two days later the first train ran into Black Town Road Station. The word 'road' was dropped from the station name on the 1 August 1862.

The station received a major rebuild in the 1990’s to a modern glass and steel structure with the addition of an extra platform and the provision of lift access to all platforms.[citation needed] The new footbridge also has a mezzanine level which is home to Sydney Trains offices. The station is known as the "Mother Ship" as it looks like a UFO when lit up at night. Also in the upgrade, Blacktown received three escalators; one from the footbridge to the bus interchange and two for access to Main Street on the southern side of the station.

Included in this upgrade was a new bus interchange constructed between the Main Western & Richmond Lines with a new bus-only road between the interchange and George Street on the eastern end of platforms 1 & 2..
Look at blacktown station now, only a shadow of it's former self!!!
