    as soon as I saw this pic I knew it to be the silver city comet which I rode probably pre 1980, after moving interstate for a bit I was saddened to see it had been withdrawn from service, I remember the trip as being different from any other train trip I had taken since the late 1950's

    It's a gorgeous train. It's funny because nowadays you can drive from Sydney to Moss Vale a lot quicker then that.

    Wow - 70 years later and it still takes the same amount of time to travel by train between Sydney and Moss vale.

    Interesting that they are taking fuel from tank cars spotted on the siding for just that purpose.
