Moree Speedfreight
When 48s ruled the rails - ALCo DL531 branchliners 48124/48132 head north somewhere between Boggabri and Turrawan , New South Wales, with what was then the daily Moree 'Speedfreight' on 15 August 1991.
Motive power on these tracks is now usually 3000hp plus, but general freight such as this has all but disappeared. However there is still a healthy flow of grain, cotton and coal trains on this stretch.
165 of these 900hp DL531s were built by A E Goodwin for the New South Wales Government Railways between 1959-1970 with approximately a third remaining in service today (2017)
