RE: NSU on the standard gauge

Chris, 
      As far as I can tell, the 'CL' name derived from the similarity 
between the CL and the (then) WAGR's 'L' class unit in prime movers (EMD 
645E3) and other mechanical features. One difference was the CL being 9 
tons (imperial) lighter than the L class. In regard to the 'NJ' class 
name conundrum suggested earlier in this string, the 'J' portion derived 
from the Clyde-Gm design specification JL-22C that became the NJ class. 
   These gems came from the excellent 'Locomotives of the Commonwealth 
Railways' by Fluck, Marshall and Wilson, Mile End Railway Museum, 1972. 
Hope this is of use

Scott
