New Locomotive on Western Line
Railwaymen discuss the joint new 32 class engine on the Western line. On its trial between Sydney and Dubbo last week it reached speeds up to 75 mph on suitable tracks. When the line supports higher speeds, travel times to and from Sydney will be greatly reduced and pilot engines on steep gradients will no longer be needed.
