Today's historic photo of the day: Train S15 the Riverina XPT headed by XP2014 'City of Grafton' calls at Cootamundra, NSW, October 26 1985.

Cootamundra is 430km south of Sydney on the NSW Main South line - also the main Melbourne to Sydney interstate railway. Until November 1983, just two years before this photo was taken, it was the place where passengers changed from mainline #trains to and from connecting railmotors south to Tumut, north to Lake Cargelligo and west to Griffith via Temora.
