Check this link for lots of information about Australian motive power:

You'll find double-ended bulldog noses under VR (A and B classes)and 645-powered single-cab versions under CR/SAR-AN-ASR (CL/CLF/CLP classes)

SA,

Just curious:  Are EMD "AA" units still running in Australia or have they been retired?   These look like the American "E" units except that they have cabs on both ends.

Thanks!

Now that summer is almost here in AUSTRALIA , trainspotting takes on a whole new meaning with super freighters departing ACACIA RIDGE (BRISBANE FREIGHT TERMINAL ) earlier due to daylight saving in the southern states not in QUEENSLAND.
All trains including the XPT
( EXPRESS PASSENGER TRAIN ) departing BRISBANE for SYDNEY an hour earlier .
The XPT takes just over 14 hours to travel from ROMA STREET STATION to SYDNEY CENTRAL
