    Is the oval matt attached to the photo or could you possibly scan the complete photo? Cheers!
  • Mich said:
    I think this is a composite photo. The scaling of the men and the trains is wrong.

    Bankstown Babyboomer Yes, these photos are in an album and they are attached to the matt.

    Comment from reader T. Edmonds: School boys volunteered to work for the railways during the strike and were used in low skilled jobs. Many of those in the photo appear to be of school age and the chalk on the TAM sleeping car includes references to Sydney Grammar and Shore. Sleeping cars possibly being used for accommodation.

    The carriage which they are standing in front of is CT681, formerly the 1884 built AB class state car.

    Comment from reader T. Edmonds: The kitchen staff are posed with car 681, the kitchen car from the Commissioner’s Train (see pic 15309_a015_000012). This indicates the kitchen car was being used for meal preparation for the loyalists.
