Fast R to Bendigo

If you missed the sights and sounds of an R at proper passenger speed
during the PTC crew training sessions earlier this year, you may want
to observe an R class at speed (the way God intended!) when R707 hauls
3 "N" sets to Bendigo on Sunday 26/10/97 on a charter trip.

According to the "S" circular, the train's allowable speed is 100km/h,
and without the rumble of an accompanying N class should make for an
interesting spectacle.
