Cross Country Express update



Aus loco discussion mailing list

NL96 Special , running slightly early , was through Cowan about 8.20pm tonight, with 4201 leading 4520 and 44211. It looked quite impressive with the long set of stainless steel cars.
 
There was a "gunzel gathering" on the Down platform at Cowan (it was still twilight), including Messrs Howard, Buck, Rittson , and some with video cameras including Bevan & Ross Wall plus Lindsay Lucas recording the scene for posterity. In Mr Lucas' case, only just, as a call of nature intervened and he wasn't quite expecting the train to sneak up so quietly!  The gathering was very impressed with the ensuing 20 metre platform sprint in Olympic qualifying times. :-)
 
Cheers,
 
Paul
