The Federal City Express was an Australian passenger train operated by the New South Wales Government Railways between Sydney and Canberra from September 1936 until May 1955.[1]

Initially hauled by steam locomotives, the Monday to Thursday was taken over by Silver City Comet stock from October 1939 for a few years when increasing demand necessitated it be steam hauled again.[2]

It was replaced in May 1955 by the Canberra Monaro Express.[2]
