Riding SAR Bluebird “Kestrel” 257 | National Railway Museum Event (9 May 2026)

Filmed on 9 May 2026 at the National Railway Museum during the museum’s “Behind Closed Doors” event, this video features SAR Bluebird railcar 257 “Kestrel” operating on the museum’s exhibition railway. The video opens with exterior footage of the historic diesel railcar before moving onboard for a one-way ride from Jacketts Station along the 600 metre line south of the museum grounds. It then switches back to trackside views of the train departing and returning to the station. Miniature steam locomotive “Bub” also makes a small appearance during the video.
