C32 Class 4-6-0 Ten Wheelers

Widely known as the "P" class (due to their classification in the pre-1924 system) by enginemen and railfan alike, the 32 class were highly regarded locomotives. Designed by William Thow, the class were used on lighter express passenger trains right up until the end of steam hauled passenger services. Indeed, 3246 was still running the Singleton-Newcastle service in 1971. (Thanks to Darren Yates for this this snippet.)

3203

Image : dir=nsw/32class/ page=index 147956 bytes, 996x689 pixels Date : Jul 1978, catalogued Photographer : John Hurst Medium : colour print, copied from slide, slide number 7206 Description : 3203 sets back onto its train at Goulburn, prior to hauling the last passenger train to Crookwell, an ARHS (ACT) special. Goulburn once was a major railway town and junction, but now sees only a fraction of that railway activity. Like many other such towns around Australia, the advent of diesel locomotion and branch line rationalization has decimated the railway town.
