Bankers |
| Description: |
For many years the small South Australia rail town of Tailem Bend has been the place where additional power was added to trains before they took on the up-to-2.5% grades of the Adelaide Hills. On this quiet Saturday morning Pacific National has a pair of units waiting to be added as "bankers" (helpers) to get a westbound container train over the hills. DL-class DL39 is a 1988-built 3300HP Clyde/GM, model AT42C. |

A pair of NR-class units bring a westbound container train (MP5) into Tailem Bend, where they will pick up two additional units before assaulting the Adelaide Hills. The lead unit, NR84, is one of two which carry special "Southern Spirit" paint for a passenger train of the same name. |

Hot Train in South Australia |
| Description: |
Westbound Pacific National train MP7 runs quickly through the South Australia bush on its way to Adelaide and Perth. The "Superfreighter" is considered a hot train on this line; three NR-class units provide the power, including lead NR25, in special Indian Pacific paint. (and many thanks to Dave & Bruce, two local Gunzelers, for helping explain operations and other details to an otherwise confused Yank!) |
