Bulldog survivor

Genesee & Wyoming's CLP8/CLP14 lead a Melbourne to Port Adelaide 5MA6 P & O shippers service through the crossing loop at Mile End, Adelaide. Lurking in the shadows is light engine DL42 on the Mile End turntable, waiting to be attached as second unit to the Sydney bound Indian Pacific.

 

CLP8 was built in 1971 by Clyde Engineering as CL9 for the Commonwealth Railways. In 1993 it was re-manufactured by Morrison & Knudsen for then owner Australian National. It is rumoured it will be given a major life-extending overhaul by its current owner Aurizon later in 2025.
