Still can feel the pain of those when they hit you.

My lunchtime pastime when i worked in Sydney in the 70's - Bin diving at the second hand record stores along Pitt St

This carriage was very similar to the old Kempsey Mail which my wife and i used to catch at Easter and Xmas each year to visit the in laws in Kempsey. Always packed to the rafters - drunks asleep in the aisles, parties going all night. The lucky ones grabbed a luggage rack above the seats as a place to sleep for the night. The worst train trip in the world - stopped at every station to pickup or drop off mail. 11and half hours of sheer hell.
