Have a look at the images in the "Fares" section. For the Indian-Pacific,
there is an photo of Forrest (on the "long straight"). With the Ghan
section, the "Forrest" name has been "removed", but they forgot to do this
for the Overland :-)....
As well, a photo labelled "The Overland" has a train hauled by an EL -
now how often would that occur? (or perhaps I am becoming a bit picky :-)
Given an earlier comment on this group about their service, one wonders
if GSR should put as much effort into this as they do with their
Web site....
