Re: [NSW] 3830 Steams South

[david <david@gwmail.nmit.vic.edu.au>]

Flew QANTAS Monday, and had to divert to Canberras after three "missed
approachs" at Melbourne. On refueling we  took off, and as we headed south I
saw a train down below,
and I think it was steam hauled, tender first. Did I imagine it ?
