New South Wales 48 Class Locomotive
The 48 Class are a class of diesel locomotives built by A. E. Goodwin, Granville for the New South Wales Government Railways between September 1959 and October 1970. Once the most ubiquitous locomotive in New South Wales (and Australia), they are based on Alco frames and prime movers, using General Electric (later AEI) electrical equipment. The South Australian Railways 830 and Silverton Rail 48s classes are of a very similar design.

“The cloud was so dark that it needed all the bright lights that could be turned upon it. But for four years there was a contagion of nobility in the land, and the best blood North and South poured itself out a libation to propitiate the deities of Truth and Justice. The great sin of slavery was washed out, but at what a cost!”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)

—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“I walked on the banks of the tincan banana dock and sat down under the huge shade of a Southern Pacific locomotive to look at the sunset over the box house hills and cry.”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
