Rail Motor Society Inc
Network in Dungog

The Rail Motor Society is mainline heritage rail operator based at Paterson, New South Wales, Australia. The Society regularly participates in special events including railway founding anniversaries and local and regional celebrations, as well as charitable fund raising events. Other tourist destinations have been locations such as Albury, Warren, Dubbo, Parkes, Griffith, Broken Hill and the Illawarra and Southern Highlands. The Society concentrates predominantly on tours to the Hunter Valley, the north, north coast and north west of the State. The CPH Class is also the lightest rail vehicle in NSW that enables them to be used across all lines in the State. The CPH Class rail motors provide the ideal vehicle for the tourist and enthusiast market as their all-round vision enables passengers to enjoy a more panoramic view of the railway landscape than other forms of rail travel. The Society also provides specialised rail tours for the railway enthusiast market. The Society provides day, weekend and extended excursions with a focus on the group tour market. Being located in the Lower Hunter Region close to the major centre of Newcastle, the Society's core client base is centred around a population of over 550, 000. The Society operates heritage tourist trains on the NSW railway network. The Society's sole focus was to be on self-propelled or diesel multiple unit rolling stock, a principle that it still adheres to today. The Society was established in 1984 as a not-for-profit organisation to collect, preserve and operate a representative fleet of NSW Government Railways rail motors. (more).
