Featuring colour and black and white photos, the series tells the story of a bygone era of train travel in this country. The fifth book in this series is Southern Highlands Express by Peter Attenborough. This is a 64-page booklet featuring many previously unpublished photographs.- For almost a century there has been a morning passenger train from Goulburn. It has provided the populace of the southern tablelands region of New South Wales with a means to travel to the city and return home the same day. For nearly 60 of those years, that train was known officially as the Southern Highlands Express. In this volume of Australian Trains we look at the history of this famous train and also its lesser-known, but equally important sister service, the Moss Vale passenger. Together, these two trains were the last steam-hauled services to traverse the main Southern line.
