I'm assuming you're between Waratah and Maitland somewhere, which
would mean they would have waited for the connecting train from Sydney
at hamilton.

Yes, they were fitted with speedos, but all the ones that I saw failed
within a few weeks of installation.  They also had an odometer fitted.
I saw one set that had failed 000007 kms after it was fitted, hardly
enough to get from Broadmeadow to Newcastle!
