Mike, what's the significance of the 'PT>' on the front of the cab?

Just a wanky way of abbreviating Public Transport Victoria.

N's used to be used back in their earlier years on freights quite a bit, and were quite good at it. Their Head End Power came in useful for powering reefer containers. They were used a bit on Melbourne -Adelaide freights for that reason, and spent many years powering containers on the Tocumwal. And yes, the traction motors were later changed from the little D27's to D77's. It was never really acknowledged, but this upgrade would bumped their weight up to around the same as a G class.

I didn't know Bruce sorry. Until i just looked it up.

But emd645e3c has provided the answer, thanks.

Mike.

Thanks, lads.

Yeah...definitely obscure unless you know it. I never would have guessed, with the "greater than" symbol following the PT. I thought it was some sort of mathematical equation!
