In 2013 Transport Heritage NSW was established by the Government of New South Wales[2] to manage rail heritage in NSW [3] following an independent review.[4][5]
History
In May 2013 Minister for Transport Gladys Berejiklian acknowledged the importance of steam locomotive 3801 stating it would be a priority of Transport Heritage NSW to return it to service.[6]
On 10 December 2013 a majority of the members of the New South Wales Rail Transport Museum voted in support of the creation of Transport Heritage NSW.[7][8] Other transport heritage groups also expressed concern for their future existence.[9] The nominated Chief Executive of Transport Heritage NSW, Andrew Killingsworth has been seen as a political appointment.[10]

- consolidation the functions of several heritage entities into new body
