3801: The Heart of Australian Railway History

The Class 38 NSWGR 3801 is renowned for its historic journey as the first steam locomotive to traverse the Australian continent, achieving this feat from 22 August 1970 to 12 September 1970. Following decades of service, the locomotive underwent an extensive 12-year overhaul at Chullora, beginning in 2008, which included a comprehensive boiler rebuild. This meticulous restoration was completed in 2020. The 3801 triumphantly returned to service on 13 March 2021, continuing its legacy in Australian rail history.

The C38 Class locomotive, built by Clyde Engineering, boasts impressive specifications that define its power and capability on the rails. With a wheel configuration of "Pacific" 4-6-2 and a driving wheel diameter of 5ft 9in, it exhibits remarkable traction and stability. Its substantial size, with a length of 76ft 5in and a total weight of 201 tons, ensures its presence is felt on the tracks. Equipped with a generous fuel capacity of 14 tons and a water capacity of 8,100 gallons, the C38 Class locomotive is ready for long-haul journeys. Its firebox area of 47 sq ft and boiler pressure of 245 psi enable efficient steam generation, while the cylinders, measuring 21.5in x 26in, deliver a formidable tractive effort of 36,273 lbf. The engineering marvel that is the C38 Class locomotive, embodies the legacy of Clyde Engineering and the rich history of railroading.
