The Brisbane Limited. Overnight train between Sydney-Brisbane, initially via Wallangarra (change to QR) and in the 1930s direct via std gauge.

Fortunate to travelled on the Limited a number of times. Was a most enjoyable journey, particularly if you had a sleeper.

My first time to Brisbane was onboard the Limited in 1969. There were a number of services.
