How time and things has changed over the last 20-30 years at Peterborough. It is so hard to watch. Was at Peterborough during the fantastic Centenary Celebration in Oct '76, and it was unforgettable experience watching several live steam locomotives breathing in the bayshed. Climbed on board the mighty green loco 520 that weekend, and that was when I fell in love with this green giant. During the weeknd an Rx class and T class would come and goes, with NSWGR's 5917 keeping them in company.
