Welcome to Schony747 trains on Wednesday. If you enjoy the video, hit the like button and smash the bell for weekly updates on Schony747.
This week Schony747 features the Southern Aurora overnight express passenger train which ran between Melbourne and Sydney between 1962 and 1986. 34 cars were ordered jointly by the Victorian Railways and New South Wales Government Railways. The Aurora was unique as the all steel passenger consist was a sleeper train service only with lounge cars and dining facilities on board as well.
Recently St James Rail - www.stjamesrail.org/our-next-... ran the 60th anniversary Southern Aurora tour between Sydney and Melbourne. The presentation covers part of the tour and gives you some historical facts about the train you won't see in most other videos covering the same train.
This will bring back some memories for lots of people. So sit back and enjoy The Southern Aurora as it was in 1962 but seen in 2020.
