Fletcher International Exports FIE 002

(Here is the second of three FIE locomotives).

Fletcher International Exports is a company in Australia who specialise in processing meat. One of their services is a freight train that runs from their processing plant in Dubbo to Port Botany; both places are in New South Wales.

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.

Curiously each of the FIE locomotives are named, with FIE 002 having the name Pamela Gaye. I wonder if anyone else thinks of the Boeing B29 plane named 'Enola Gay' when they read FIE 002's name.

As stated on the FIE 001 page, the real-life FIE locomotives bare a very strong resemblance to the Pacific National NR class. That's why I used the NR model as the base for these re-skins.
