Australian Trains - Spirit of Progress
The iconic Spirit of Progress, the Royal blue and yellow train that so much attracted the attention of the travelling public when it commenced running between Melbourne and Albury back in 1937, is the subject of this volume of Australian Trains. Over the fifty year period that this train operated, it led two very different lives, one on broad gauge and the other on standard gauge. Both trains are reviewed in this booklet, as is the history of the line over which they operated.
64 pages soft cover over sixty illustrations, most in colour.
