What has happened to State Car No 4?
The original SoP dining car was renamed "Murray" and sometimes replaced a VRS on the SG Spirit.I notice that the flyer says that Yarra car will be attached . . .

Unfortunately, somebody has misled you. I have acted as a Train Officer on many occasions in State Car No 4 in the previously balmy days at SRHC. The rear platform was always accessible to passengers, and as far as I know, still is.
