The ARE ran a most interesting tour into NSW during an extended
weekend in November/December 1969. One of the lines toured was to
Toronto with 3067 and 3046. Not bad. That was my second trip. The
first was 625 and 721 on a normal pass from Broadmeadow and 721 solo
back to Newcastle, five months previous. 

NSW was  the best state in Australia for railfans back then and not so
long ago.
