GM 43 in Australia

Genesee & Wyoming Australia Clyde Engineering built GM class GM 43 is leading a grain train on Sunday, March 29, 2015. The train is on the branch from Tailem Bend to Pinnaroo in South Australia. According to Mark Carter, "the last train on the branch ran four months later on 31 July 2015."
GM 43 entered service in March 1967. It is a C-C covered wagon with a roots blown 567 prime mover. The first GM units were A1A-A1A. The GM units after GM 12 were C-C units, kind of like late SD18s in an E-unit body. I like to think if they had been made in the US they might have been called F18s? I also like to think of the A1A-A1A versions of these as EMD's PAs.
