Cootamundra New South Wales sits in the middle of the state's most productive wheat growing region. It's yard is usually full of power, particularly when grain is moving. Here two Pacific National grain trains sit in the town's yard awaiting movement south. The 81-class is similar mechanically to an American SD40-2 with a 3000HP EMD 645 engine inside. They're fairly common in New South Wales, with 84 being built. |

Grain at Goulburn |
| Description: |
Only a few minutes after the morning Canberra Xpolrer DMU has departed and just before the daily Sydney-Melbourne XPT arrives the dispatcier slips an "up" Pacific National grain train through Goulburn NSW behind the standard pair of 81-class units. Australian railroads have a delightful mix of English and American themes. The station architecture and track design is right out of the UK. Rolling stock and locomotives are generally based on US styles. Note the water spout just beyond the platform- steam didn't quit here until the early '70s and still makes an occasional appearaoce as part of a heritage event. |

PNA 81-Class 8151 |
| Description: |
Pacific National 81-class 8151; 3000HP Clyde/GM, 1984. In effect a double-ended, boxcab Aussie version of the SD40-2; the 81-class dominates PNR's grain operations in central NSW. Note that this body style does not allow movement between coupled units. |

Trains Pass on the Main South |
| Description: |
Australia's standard gauge Main South from Sydney to Melbourne is dual tracked to Junee NSW. It can go for hours without a movement and then you'll have a flurry of activity, like shown here. A "down" (westbound) Pacific national container train with three units passes an "up" grain train behind four 81-class units. This shot was taken from Cooks Hill Rd, about 5km east of Yass Jct. |
