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. |

| Title: |
El Zorro! |
| Description: |
Australia offers an incredible array of operators, locomotive models and paint schemes. G-class G532 (Clyde-GM 1988, 3300HP) is marked for El Zorro, one of many Australian rail companies. It's trailed by CFLC VL-class VL352 (Clyde-GM 2006, 3300HP) while hauling 40 empty grain cars downgrade into Gunning NSW. |

| Title: |
El Zorro G-class G532 |
| Description: |
Australian operator El Zorro currently has a pair of Clyde/EMD G-class units in its stabbe. 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. |
