Beskrivelse
(This first paragraph about F.I.E. is from their official website):

Fletcher International Exports is one of Australia’s most integrated processors and exporters of lamb and sheep meat products. A private, family-owned company, Fletcher International operates two highly efficient processing facilities: one located in Dubbo, New South Wales; and the other near Albany in Western Australia. These two plants have a combined processing capacity of more than 90,000 sheep and lambs per week, which equates to over 4.5 million head per year.

(The remaining text is in my own words):

The company operates a freight train from their processing plant in Dubbo to Port Botany; the latter being in New South Wales too. In 2014, three UGL Rail C44ACi locomotives were built for Fletchers. These have the fitting designation of FIE class, and haven't got a particularly creative numbering scheme. Although the Dubbo to Port Botany trains are hauled by the FIE class, the trains themselves are operated by the Southern Shorthaul Railroad.

The UGL Rail C44ACi is a freight locomotive who's design is derived from the Pacific National NR class. As such, they bare a strong-enough resemblance to the NR model in Rolling Line. In other words, I've dressed up the NR model as a pretty convincing rendition of the FIE class.

Curiously each of the FIE locomotives are named. FIE 001 is Gail Allen, while FIE 002 is Pamela Gaye and FIE 003 is Melissa Leedean. I don't know where the names come from, but I assume they're high-ranking employees at the FIE company.
