  • Jim Rees said:
    The claim of sinking a submarine has since been debunked. At the time, the crew only claimed to have wrecked the periscope and conning tower. The sub in question seems to have been UB40, which survived to the end of the war when it was scuttled in the evacuation of Flanders. The US Navy does not claim a sinking.

    Jim Rees, What an interesting story! Thanks for sharing the links to sources regarding the actions of the U.S.S. Mongolia. We will update the record with more information.

Locomotive S301, Sir Thomas Mitchell, hauling a north east goods train, Beveridge, Victoria, 5 April 1952

  • Robert Coops said:
    Was that called the Spirit of Progress?
  • National Library of Australia said:
    Thanks for your question, Robert. This picture is of the Locomotive S301, Sir Thomas Mitchell, hauling a north east goods train. The Spirit of Progress was an express train passenger service between Sydney and Melbourne, running from 1937 – 1986. You can see a photograph of the Spirit of Progress departing Albury hauled by locomotive S301, Sir Thomas Mitchell at nla.gov.au/nla.pic-vn4468512

    I remember riding the Spirit in 1965 as a fresh Navy recruit from Sydney to Melbourne.
