Took me a minute to figure that one out since our Diesels weren't fitted with the US stormwindow arrangement. J.P,
All the Guardsvan's and Carvan's had a Lookout for the Guard since our loading gauge was so tight. The Kingston Flyer is the old version wide bay, long since replaced by the more modern Vee-lookout. We also chucked out these unneeded sleepercars way back in the mid-1980's, made the day go a lot quicker.
Train #933, Powdered Llimestone fertilizer, 528tons on the drawbar, Ormondville Viaduct approach trestle.
