This video takes a special look at two of the most popular and prestigious express passenger locomotives to operate on New South Wales Railways, the C36 class 4-6-0 and the C38 class 4-6-2. Both types in their heyday were employed on top link passenger duties and were comparable in power rating and performance.
During the 1960s as dieselisation took a strong hold, both classes were gradually relegated to more humble freight workings.
