Those two cars have been at Redfern behind Carriage works for about 6
months. They were destroyed by vandals while they sat at Mortdale
Maintenance Centre a couple of years ago. (About the same time that 602
was destroyed) The damage is irreparable. I am considering making an
oops.htm file for my home page which would have photos of accidents,
collisions, derailments, fires and other such things with a background on
the cause of each accident. Would people find this interesting?
