3801 LTD returns to Robertson on Sunday 3rd February 2019
Click on image above to make a booking if you would like to ride this 3801 LTD train to Robertson and back
The Robertson Heritage Railway Station is very pleased to announce that iconic The Cockatoo Run will resume providing heritage tourist train visits.
The train is due to arrive around 12.30pm. The train will remain at Robertson from when or arrives at about 12.30pm until it returns to Sydney later in the day, about 3.15 pm. The tourist train will be hauled by a suitable heritage diesel locomotive, probably 42101. We will know more as the date draws nearer.
The Cockatoo Run was a very regular visitor to Robertson and our heritage listed station played host for many years to The Cockatoo Run as well as heritage rail trips run by other operators. For the last couple of years The Cockatoo Run has not been operating so we are particularly pleased to announce that we will be hosting its first run on Sunday 3 February 2019.
To mark this important occasion we invite you to be present on the day that The Cockatoo Run returns to Robertson. It is not only an auspicious occasion for us, it is also important for heritage rail in general and of course for the tourist industry in the local area. The train operator and ourselves will be liaising with the media to ensure that this occasion receives suitable coverage. We are hoping that The Cockatoo Run will be a regular visitor to our station.
Kind regards,
Neil Harvey
President RHRS

The Robertson Loop - on hold
Travel from Robertson to Moss Vale and Back - when the Cockatoo Run comes to Robertson
Hi everyone
Unfortunately we have received a call from the train operator, 3801 Limited, that they are not going to Moss Vale on this occasion as they couldn't get a pathway at the time required.
We apologise for this disappointing outcome but this is beyond our control. Since this run is the first of more to come, we hope, the intention is to resume the Robertson to Moss Vale run at a later time.
