oh dear, what have you unleasehed here :))))) - this could become the
longest thread in the history of aus.rail. There are soooooooooo many
stories - from the names of the train crews on the first "Fish" and
first "Chips", to the appearance of the "Fish" train (stainless steel
with round windows looking like a scaly fish).

Probably one of the greatest urban myths of the NSW rail system - good
luck sorting out the answers :))
