Goodwin/Alco DL-531 |
| Description: |
The Goodwin/Alco DL-531 is one of Australia's most important locomotive designs, having been built in large numbers (210) and proving useful for a multitude of duties. Most were built for New South Wales RY in the 48-class; a smaller number went to South Australia RY, where they were the 830-class. Built from 1959 to 1970, they carry a 6-251 engine rated at 950HP for traction. 833, shown here, was built for the SA Ry and is now stored in poor shape off the Cootamundra turntable. |

It's a South Australia 830-class unit, which is largely identical to the NSW RY's 48-class, one of which sits in the background. Originally configured for SA's wide gauge, it's since been modified for NSW's standard gauge. |

True Blue Aussie Alco: Pacific National 48-Class 4898 |
| Description: |
The 48-class locomotive is considered one of the most important diesels in Australian rail history. Goodwin/Alco built 165 of the type from 1959 to 1970 for New South Wales RR and 45 of the virtually identical 830-class for South Australian RR. The type worked in all varieties of service, but are best known for their work on grain branchlines, where they replaced steam. Roughly 80 of both class remain in service and a small number are being rebuilt in places like Junee for continued duty. PNR 4898, former NSWR 4898, Goodwin/Alco 1966. 900HP Alco model DL-531. |

Pacific National 48-class unit 48165 loads grain at the elevator at Cunnigar, NSW under darkening skies. This Goodwin/Alco was the last of 165 built in Australia from 1959 through 1970. (it's probably just as well it was cloudy- this would've been right into the afternoon sun if it had been out!) |
