The headboard says it all: Lost! 620/720 Class railmotors 621/721 are seen at the remote location of Oaklands NSW, with an Australian Railway Historical Society weekend tour from Sydney. This set was built in 1961 and spent its career working local trains out of Newcastle until a surprisingly late withdrawal in 2007. Oaklands was once the terminus of a New South Wales Government Railways standard gauge line from the north, and a Victorian Railways broad gauge line from the south, which met together and shared a dual gauge yard and station. The NSWGR line closed in 1975, but the VR line continued to operate. The line was booked out of service in 2007 and its future seemed uncertain, but then in 2009 the line was converted to standard gauge and reopened as part of the north-east line gauge conversion project. So here we have a NSW train on NSW standard gauge in a NSW town... But on a former Victorian Railways line.
