600/620/660 RAILCAR FLEET UPDATE

SEPTEMBER 2019
An excellent history of all three classes can be found on the 'Railmotor Society' website.
The type could be found all over New South Wales, operating local services in the Sydney, Newcastle and Illawarra regions, along with numerous rural branchlines.
While all are now retired, we are lucky to have a good amount still in preservation. We will cover the similar looking 900 class (DEB Sets) in a future update.
