At one point, Comeng "S" set driving trailers, hauled by 48 class locos. 
Provisions were installed for power generation, to run the lights, and 
maybe the doors. Other than that, I guess it generally would have been loco 
hauled pass cars and railcars.

BTW, Who let Cityrail totally *BUTCHER* the 620/720 sets, that they run up 
in Maitland. Inside now, they look so depressingly boring. Same goes with 
the Tulloch trailers.

THEN, there's the Hopper windows on the S sets? Who's bright idea was that, 
to make a hot and stuffy train, even worse?

Michael
