    Posted in New South Wales » QUBE's 3966N led by CM3316 & CM3304 derailed this morning at Farmborough Heights

    Initially (1962), at least, the Aurora and the SoP followed different routes through part of the Metrop as I understand it which provided the  separation necessary until the Aurora got ahead.

    The running of the 'Contrans' Annual Hire train between Contrans in Melbourne and Cooks River in Sydney was afforded at least equal priority with the Southern Aurora. The running of this train was top priority for all. If there was ever a sacred train the Melbourne - Sydney and return Contrans was it.
