@sydney_explained: 100 YEARS OF ELECTRIC TRAINS IN SYDNEY (1926-2026)📍Central Station At 7:54am on 1 March 1926, the first electric passenger train quietly departed Central Station. Today, marks exactly 100 years of electric train services in Sydney. Electric trains delivered faster, quieter and more frequent services, while eliminating the constant demand for coal and water. A century later, that electric network - vastly expanded and continually evolving - remains the backbone of Sydney’s transport system. At 7:54 am today, the vintage Red Rattler departed Central Station at the exact minute the original service ran 100 years ago. #sydneytrains #nswtransportheritage #sydneyhistory #trains #transportfornsw
