History

In May 2013 Minister for Transport Gladys Berejiklian acknowledged the importance of steam locomotive 3801 stating it would be a priority of Transport Heritage NSW to return it to service.

On 10 December 2013 a majority of the members of the New South Wales Rail Transport Museum voted in support of the creation of Transport Heritage NSW. Other transport heritage groups also expressed concern for their future existence. The nominated Chief Executive of Transport Heritage NSW, Andrew Killingsworth has been seen as a political appointment.

Review

Major recommendations of the Rail Heritage Review included:

  • consolidation the functions of several heritage entities into new body
  • realise full value of the Large Erecting Shop at Eveleigh Railway Workshops, Sydney and the Broadmeadow Locomotive Depot, Newcastle
