English: Format: 1 film photonegative (copied from original nitrate photonegative) - 35 mm.


Notes: The Silver City Comet was the first of four air-conditioned high speed diesel trains to be placed in regular service on the NSW Railways. Resplendent in silver and blue, they 'streaked from Sydney to Moss Vale in a little over two hours and then raced back to Sydney', 7 July 1937. They were the first fully air-conditioned diesel trains in the British Empire.
