On Sunday the 25th, the Department of Infrastructure and The Seymour Railway Heritage Center teamed together to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the 'Spirit of Progress'. All the carriages (some have been modified) were all orginally on the spirit when it went into service in November 1937. The Parlor Car was a huge sucess throughout the whole day and this combined with the Dining Car made sure that the Spirit Of Progress is remembered for quite some time to come
