26 NOVEMBER 2006 John Stapleton NOSTALGIA, excitement, frustration and bitterness, they were all part of the mix as the historic 3801 steam train left Central Station yesterday. It was the locomotive's last trip under its present ownership structure, with the NSW state government refusing all entreaties to leave the train with the team of volunteers who have been running it successfully for the past 20 years.
