Historic steam locomotive 3642 on the turntable at Gosford, NSW Australia - October 25 2014.
<p>The Heritage Express Excursion returned to Sydney Central Terminal after "The Pig" (3642) was turned on the 60 year old Gosford turntable.
</p><p>The 160+ tonne engine &amp; tender had to be re-positioned on the turntable as it was not well balanced. Finally the loco was run around through the station before being re-coupled and heading south.
</p><p>Only three 36 Class locomotive remain today, with 3642 being the only one in operational condition.

Video was shot on iPhone 5s through the high security fence of the Gosford Railyards - really the only lens that could fit through the gaps!
