Red Rattlers - 75th Anniversary of Elec Trains in Sydney

[dezzy94]

Ahhh the memory's of the old 9:41am Penrith to Berowra Service that was always run as a red rattler :D

Havent really got time to explain I guess.. sufficed to say for ABC it sounded not a little biased.. against the motion. I guess they were trying to take a dig at the Government of the day (which certainly needed it) as if spending money on such a heritage thing was wasting it. What of course they didnt know was that all the work had been done by volunteers and the day had cost virtually nothing.
