Australian Beauty: QRN CLF-Class CLF-3 |
| Description: |
17 CL-class units were built by Clyde/EMD as model AT26C for Commonwealth RY from 1970. They carry a 16-645 for 3300HP and subsequently rebuilt in the early '90s into CLF (freight) and CLP (passenger) configurations. CLF-3 and its three mates in this train still wear Genesee & Wyoming colors but belong to QR National. Their unique design features the final use of EMD's "Bulldog" nose attached to a carbody that looks more like an F-45. |

Pacific National Grain climbing at Cullerin |
| Description: |
PNA usually assigns a pair of 81-class units to its loaded grain trains that come out of Australia's Riverina region and head to export facilities at Sydney or Port Kembla. L-class unit L251 leading this train is a nice change; it was built in 1967 for the Western Australia RY and is, functionally, an EMD SD40 internally. |
