Steam@ Richi
You will be visiting the mining site of the coal magnet 'Baron' John Brown at Richmond Main. (In the Hunter Valley)
While there relive the past or discover a new experience by riding behind our historic steam or diesel engine .
Richmond Vale Railway is situated on the Richmond Main Colliery site with the two story offices now housing a growing mining museum showing ‘Baron’ John Brown’s influence over coal mining / rail haulage/shipping/ electricity supply in our lower Hunter Valley.
The engines you ride behind were not owned by John Brown but have their own history, as do the carriages…
