Re: 2 car K sets

["Jack" <bd107@tsn.cc>]

The accident occurred on a Saturday evening.... there was single line
working on the bank and the freighter was standing at Cowan waiting a path..
in those days the electric used to terminate at Cowan... R1 was an eight car
set that night.... and 2 cars were demolished..

For the poster who wondering why there were 10 cars built... one
word...SPARES
