How many of them operated on sg? I know it's in the recent AMRM articles
but I don't have them to hand. Travelling from Sydney to Adelaide on the
IP in 1990, we overtook a trio of failed Bluebirds at (I think) Snowtown.
We took on all the passengers and made several additional stops before
Adelaide.
