BHP in Australia run a fleet of 40 Dash 8 locomotives, four of the
locomotives are named after Greek gods, the others are named after
Pilbara locations or ports to which Iron Ire is shipped.
There are a number of differences betweem units according to resident expert on winged locomotives in Pilbara, Richard Montgomery, 'different fuel tank shapes, bogies, five chime horns, ditch lights to name a few.'
Dream in Vision believes the locomotives match and compliment their philosophy of diversity and trying different things. This locomotive captures and compliments our AC 6000; it also personifies for the Dream in Vision team the diversity of Australia.
Keep checking out the www.dreaminvision.com site for when this great locomotive will be released.
