They ran on South Australia's broad gauge network and led such trains as the Overland from Melbourne Vic. 900 is named Lady Norrie after Lieutenant-General Charles Willoughby Moke Norrie, 1st Baron Norrie, the then Governor of South Australia. |

Electric Staff Machine |
| Description: |
Now I have used these along with the staff and ticket "token" at work. This is an authority for single track working. When I used it, we had to talk to a train controller (dispatcher) to get authorisation to go from point a to point b. when you have authority from the train controller or the signal box in advance, you can get your staff out, All of the staffs are numbered with some having an annett key on the end to operate signalling equipment and or points (switches) for sidings aling the section of track. |
