Re: [NSW] A couple of CityRail questions.

To David.

mmm...I seem to have two replies to this discussion.

The Traverser is in the Surburban Carriage Workshops. It is presently
called SRA Heritage Store since inside it contains SRA's Heritage
Rolling Stock (Red Rattler's and U-BOATS).
Every sunday you may see the workshops open, they're Historic Electric
Traction (HET) who's a contractor to SRA Heritage in restoring the SRA
electric historic fleet.
I've attended this place on two occasions and yes, I did get to inspect
the Traverser.

(There's a picture of a red rattler car C7396 on that in June last year
on the HET website)

the other reply I think you mean is the 'Dive'.
>From what I know of I think that line is somewhat 'underground' which
crosses all the main lines headed west towards the ones headed south.

If I'm not right (Which I won't doubt) some please correct me.

Is this track by any chance, the one where C8 'Chopper' set derailed in
April last year (2000)?


Thanks

P.S. Sorry if any of this has been mentioned, too tired to go through
rest of this discussion.
