@SuperNorfolksouthern

By Australian standards this is a long freight train. Most crossing loops are 1.6km (1 mile) or less which is the limiting factor, and even double stacking can only be done in limited areas.

Those gates sound exactly like the E-Bells in U.S.Nice to see the Aussies got some equipment from U.S.

@IAISrailfanner

Much of our rail technology is licensed from US companies. Most locomotives since the diesel era have been based around GE or EMD componants although our restrictive loading gauge means they usually don't look anything like their American counterparts.

@IAISrailfanner The Australian 81 Classes also use Nathan P5s as you can see in this video: /watch?v=AyMOIOzg5yo&list=PL78­CA79A71C48F690

They have E-Bells, on the crossing, spine container cars, and an EOT. Didn't know that Australia had that.

Unfortunately no double stacking in Victoria. :-(
