Physical description

Christmas card made from white stippled cardboard with a serrated edge, folded centrally with a photo of Rx and R class locomotives on the front of the Adelaide to Melbourne Express at Adelaide Railway Station c1900. The train later became known as The Overland. The first two carriages are Mansard Roofed Carriages. The photo has been printed as an illustration and then glued to the front of the card.



On the inside of the card is a Greetings message from the Council and Members of the South Australian Division of the Australian Railway Historical Society.



See December 1999 issue of Newsrail for some information about the locomotives and carriages.



Year not known, probably late 1960's. Would have been sent to Les Denmead by someone in the ARHS SA Division.
