BHP derails 268-car Pilbara iron ore train

That's because they are American locos imported here, along with their systems.
Some locos are built here using american running gear.
This has always been the Australian way of doing things. Why reinvent the wheel?
Today we still run F7 type locos built here under licence.
They keep getting refurbished and put back to work.
They do the job because our trains tend to be a lot smaller than in the US.
Cheers,
Mike

Australia has done this for years and its great to see the familiar faces in another country. I enjoy seeing the beautifully maintained, still, F7s. I agree why reinvent the wheel if there's a tool already there to do the job.
