Summary

Description
English: Melbourne Express crossing Sleep's Hill viaduct, 1918 (SLSA B 58892-510) -- cropped.
The train, later named The Overland, was called the Melbourne Express from Adelaide and the Adelaide Express from Melbourne. Here it is leaving Sleep's Hill tunnel in the Adelaide Hills. Victorian Railways E type carriages make up the train. It is hauled by two South Australian Railways Rx class locomotives of the 1890s, which were supplanted in 1926 by 500 class locomotives with more than double the power output of the Rx – specifically designed for duty on the sharp-curved, steeply graded line as far as Tailem Bend. The viaducts were not strong enough to bear the weight of these locomotives and the gullies were filled in.
