40 Class 4001 at the Thirlmere Trainworks Railway Museum, Thirlmere NSW Australia.
The 40 class were a class of diesel locomotives built by Montreal Locomotive Works, Canada for the New South Wales Government Railways in 1951/52.
The 40 class were the first mainline diesel electric locomotives to be built for the New South Wales Government Railways. Built by the Montreal Locomotive Works in 1951/52, they were based on the ALCO RSC-3 design
There were subtle deviations from the standard RSC-3 built by the American Locomotive Company. These included a cab that angled inwards below the cab windows to reduce the width of the locomotive at the eaves of the cab roof, and placement of the handrails on the car body rather than the standard walkway arrangement.
They were originally used on heavy freight services from Sydney to Broadmeadow and later on North Coast services to Brisbane and Main South line services to Albury. All were delivered in grey undercoat and painted in verdant green at Eveleigh Carriage Workshops. For the 1954 Royal Tour of Queen Elizabeth II 4001 and 4002 were repainted blue. In the 1960s all were repainted Indian red.
With major electrical work required and their lack of power compared to other diesels, the 40 class were withdrawn from May 1968 with the last being taken out of service in December 1971. Some had parts recycled in to the new build 442 class locomotives.
The New South Wales Rail Transport Museum preserved 4001. It was returned to traffic in October 2010 painted in the blue livery it received in 1954 to haul the Royal Train.[6] Robe River Iron Associates purchased 4002 and 4006 for use on construction trains and later as shunters in the Pilbara region of Western Australia where they were renumbered 9405 and 9401. These were withdrawn in 1979 with 4002 donated to the Pilbara Railways Historical Society and returned to working order while 4006 was donated to the Wickham Lions Club and placed on a plinth at the tourist information bay.

A unidentified Class 52 Western at Newport High Street sometime around 1964/1965.
After showing the image on other internet sites I have been advised this is a Swindon built example but no one has come forward with a definite identification.
This pic is one of many photographs I've purchased for mere pennies or sometimes a few pounds over the years via different internet auction sites.
These pics have no copyright stamp etc so after spending some time cleaning the images up I now feel it is time to show them and not let the collection just hide away.
At the time of posting the original photographer is unknown.
If the picture is yours then please contact and I will remove ASAP.

Here's a shot I got of the Silver Rapids & Solarium in Topeka on the rear end of today's Amtrak #4. Owing to its tardiness into town, there were a number of local fans on the scene, and it was rather well covered on its trip to KC. These two CZ vets may have been out of place on the Santa Fe, but they sure looked good! Its just a bit of a bummer that I won't be around to shoot them rolling down the Racetrack this evening.
