Which book are you referring to?

I just got hold of Obergs latest book (published a couple of years ago I think)
I haven't read it all but some of what he writes about Victoria is a bit
ridiculous.

Regarding VR C class he wrote that their introduction to service "caused a
revolution in interstate schedules" Well I guess if you define a revolution as
interstate freights dropping in max. speed from 60MPH down to 50 MPH then he is
correct!

There are quite a few other niggling errors. Leo is a nice guy and a
workmanlike photographer but a historian he is not!
