Transwa Australind

Transwa Australind

The Transwa Australind is a passenger train operated by Transwa that runs between Perth, Western Australia, and the south-west city of Bunbury on the South Western Railway (Western Australia). The Australind fleet consists of three powered railcars ADP101, ADP102 and ADP103, with two non-driving trailers ADQ121 and ADQ122. These units form one railcar with an ADP car at each end, and the two ADQ cars in the center. The remaining ADP car is normally stowed at the maintenance depot for servicing.

History

The Australind service began in 1947 and was hauled by a steam locomotive. In the mid 1960s, diesel-electric locomotive power took over the route. The current self-powered diesel railcars were introduced in 1987. In July 2003 the railcars were painted in a new livery in line with the creation of the Transwa name. In 2007 the railcars were again given a facelift and painted white as part of an overall refurbishment of the fleet.
