See this track inspection train, just about everywhere.
Usually made up with 3 modified old Southern Aurora carriages and lately been running a couple of Vintage 44 class streamliner diesels, I've yet to click.



Spotted this one around $ydney a few times.

Top photo is the AK car, measures track geometry, dips, camber etc. Different motive power operators haul it, sometimes PN, SSR, formerly GWA here in SA-not sure if Aurizon will be hauling it.
