Great White Train
Encyclopedia
The Great White Train was an effort in the 1920s by Sydney based industrialists
to convince Australians to 'Buy Australian Made'.
The train was created by the Australia Made Preference League with the New South Wales
government contributing £5000 to the project.
The movie Undercover made about the Berlei
company contained a segment on a recreation of the train filmed at Taralga.
The radio station 2XT was part of AWA's contribution to the train. The station was set up at each town and broadcast to the local community but was heard as far away as New Zealand
with a clear signal. The sale of crystal radios to rural customers was one of the results but on the train's departure they had to make do with static filled reception from Sydney
