The 47 class are a class of diesel-electric locomotives built by A Goninan & Co for the Public Transport Commission in 1972/73.
Twenty were ordered from A Goninan & Co with the first delivered in July 1972. After undergoing acceptance trails the first entered service in September 1972 with the last delivered in May 1973. Originally intended for use hauling coal services in the Hunter Valley, they were allocated to Bathurst to operate services in the state's west from Lithgow to Euabalong West, Bourke and Cootamundra and all branches in between. Their excellent ride qualities saw them find favour with crews, although they did suffer from overheating with one destroyed by fire in April 1974 and another in a collision in March 1977.
In January 1981 it was decided to transfer the class to Broadmeadow to take up the duties they had originally been built for being used to haul coal services from Belmont, Dudley, Lambton and Pelton. They also saw use on services to Werris Creek, Tamworth and Moree. They continued to return to Bathurst Workshops for overhaul. A downturn in traffic as a result of a drought saw them placed in store at Parkes in 1982/83 before all were reactivated in 1984 resuming duties out of Broadmeadow.
Despite their favouritism with crews, their high maintenance costs saw them selected for withdrawal in 1989 with only six in service or under repair by November 1989 with the last being taken out of service in December 1990.
In 1990 the Lachlan Valley Railway purchased 47s 01 and 08 followed in February 1994 by 02, 03, 07 and 16. A later purchase was 4717. These were used to operate wheat services in the Cowra region in 1993/94.
In June 1999 they commenced operating trip working services between Port Botany and the Cooks River container terminal in Sydney for Lachlan Valley Rail Freight followed in July 1999 by a service between Cooks River and Carrington for R&H Transport Services.
Five Lachlan Valley Railway units remain in service, primarily operating infrastructure trains for Southern Shorthaul Railroad.

57 year old British Rail Class 57 Co-Co diesel locomotive 57305 heads the Rail Operations Group 09:19 (12:14 74L) Clacton CSD- Gascoigne Wood Sidings (Selby, North Yorkshire) one off ECS movement at Stratford Station on the Great Eastern Main Line in East London (UK).
In tow are 33 year old redundant former Greater Anglia Class 321 4 car EMU's 321431 and 445 heading off for storage and most likely scrapping.
Note the 'dellner coupling' contraption covered up in the yellow pane recess on the cab of the locomotive. This coupling was used during 57305's duties as a Direct Rail Services Thunderbird recovery locomotive in order to couple to and/or rescue other dellner equipped broken down trains.
57305 first entered service as Brush type 4 D1758 on May 23rd 1964.
57305 was numbered 47164 in the 1970s, based at Stratford and was a regular on the GEML.
In 1977 it was one of two Stratford Class 47 loco's that received a Union Flag on the side to commemorate the Queen's silver jubilee. I can vividly remember seeing 47164 along with 47163 at Chelmsford station on London- Norwich Inter City services around this time just as I became interested in railways.
