Cowan Bank Train Simulator screenshot


Microsoft's Train Simulator is a great way to experience the past (albeit in a rather surreal way).  This scene is of two NSW 46 class electric locomotives climbing the 2.5% gradients of the Cowan Bank (near the Hawkesbury River) with a freight train.  This was NSW's first series of electric locomotives.

More info on electric railways of NSW is in the book Railway Electrification in Australia and New Zealand. More NSW screenshots are on this webpage
