Today, Easter Sunday, is the latter of the two days that 3526 will be operating return shuttles between Hornsby and Rhodes on the T9. I decided to grab some photos of it passing Beecroft, which has some nice curves in the track through the station. Thankfully, the weather was much better compared to yesterday, with no rain and pleasant lighting.

Similarly, the train was running with 4501 (diesel) leading in the up direction, and 3526 (steam) at the down end.

And, on its way back northward, 3526 led:
