NSW 38 class with a passenger train on the Short North, 1970

Short North was a reference to the Sydney--Newcastle line and here Pacific type number 3813 is seen at Fassifern. It's not clear if this postcard scene was a standard train or an excursion.

No doubt destined for the scrappers' torch. Undated, but probably circa 1970 as the electric wires on the line to Lyttelton are still in place.
