G-Class G512 (model JT26C-2SS) |
| Description: |
G-Class unit G512 sitting by the Goulburn depot. The 33 G-class units were built by Clyde/GM in the mid-to-late '80s for the Victoria RWY. The 3300HP design represents typical Aussie double-ended boxcab diesels of the period. They've been subsequently dispersed among several operators. This example wears the markings of Specialized Container Transport Co (SCT) although it's actually owned by Chicago Freight Car Leasing-Australia (CFCLA) |

Broad Gauge Action at Footscray West |
| Description: |
An El Zorro-operated loaded grain train pulls out of the Tottenham Yard in Western Melbourne, probably headed for unloading at Appleton Docks. Two G-Class Clyde/EMDs suffice for power. This point, at Footscray West, is where the broad gauge freight line splits from the much newer standard gauge tracks, which run to Sydney. |

El Zorro G-class G532 |
| Description: |
Australian operator El Zorro currently has a pair of Clyde/EMD G-class units in its stable. Both are shown here on a grain train running past the West Footscray metro station. Both are currently set up for wide gauge (5'6") tracks; G532 was trucked for standard gauge the last time I saw it, in 2011 in NSW. The G-class is internally similar to EMD's SD40-2. |

PNR 81-class units at Coota |
| Description: |
Cootamundra New South Wales sits in the middle of the state's most productive wheat growing region. It's yard is usually full of power, particularly when grain is moving. Here two Pacific National grain trains sit in the town's yard awaiting movement south. The 81-class is similar mechanically to an American SD40-2 with a 3000HP EMD 645 engine inside. They're fairly common in New South Wales, with 84 being built. |

Grain at Goulburn |
| Description: |
Only a few minutes after the morning Canberra Xpolrer DMU has departed and just before the daily Sydney-Melbourne XPT arrives the dispatcher slips an "up" Pacific National grain train through Goulburn NSW behind the standard pair of 81-class units. Australian railroads have a delightful mix of English and American themes. The station architecture and track design is right out of the UK. Rolling stock and locomotives are generally based on US styles. Note the water spout just beyond the platform- steam didn't quit here until the early '70s and still makes an occasional appearance as part of a heritage event. |

Yea, it's not a hood unit- but I couldn't resist. A wild Sulphur Crested Cockatoo sits on PNA 81- class 8157 at Harden. Flocks of these birds frequent NSW rail yards and trackage to feed on spilled grain. |

Grain Empties Moving South |
| Description: |
Two units bring Pacific National empty grain train 9323N around a curve on a Tuesday afternoon while descending about 10KM of 1.4% grade to Fish River. The train is at KP260 approaching the Old Hume Highway underpass; its destination is Cootamundra, about 170 kilometers further down the road. 81-class 8173 is followed by C-class C-509 in Coote Industrial colors. In US terms this pair is close to an SD40-2/SD40 duo. |
