Re: Special from Sydney to Canberra to get AB91on Nov 25

[awiddow@atrax.net.au (Anthony)]

L0L...You mean there *Actually* going to come and get that dam thing
at last, after all the years, its been sitting in the museum up here.

Oh well, out with the pick-axes again (to dig out the flangeways, so
it can be moved out of the No.1 road).
Wonder if the Garrat still moves, (it's parked in front of AB91).

Sounds Like a great trip though.

 Just 1 though, how they going to move it past 'Joppa Junction', since
it *is* a wooden body carriage, as far as I know they can't be run on
the main south???
