PROTOTYPE INFORMATION
FREIGHT AUSTRALIA BLOCK TRAIN
The Freight Australia Block Fuel Train is mainly made up of two dome (a group of 42 cars) and some three dome cars (a group of 7) owned by the "Shell" Company. Both types were constructed on the standard 45' x 9" riveted underframe by Tulloch"s Heavy Engineering. Both types have unique characteristics; the three dome version having lower sitting domes whilst the two dome version has a centre inspection point. Freight Australia was formed in 1999 as "Freight Victoria" to purchase the Victorian Governments "V/Line Freight" division. The company changed its name to Freight Australia in March 2000 as it sought contracts outside of Victoria with the introduction of the "open competition policies" securing a contract to transport fuel on behalf of Shell Australia Ltd from Sandown terminal in Sydney to county centres such as Tamworth, Dubbo & Canberra.
