When was it?
I'm glad that I visited Melbun (surely there's a shorter OZ
nickname than that!) before all the older suburban
(Gloucester??) stock disappeared. I liked it better than the
stainless steel stuff. I remember one trip in the older stock,
running atop a high embankment with some of the doors open
and none of the passengers batting an eyelash! I was too late
for the Red Rattlers, though I saw one or two (work service?) in
the yard near Flinders St Station (I think, next to a park?).
Didn't I read somewhere that the "blue" asbestos in the
Gloucesters was so dangerous that they buried the bodies
whole in old rock quarries when they were retired?
