Until a few years ago, there were no less than five NSUs at Marree, but
I understand that two were bought and removed by SteamTown Peterborough
Railway Preservation Society.
As for NTs, refer to my post of last night re:NTs & NAR remembered.
There is only one NT in existence, No 76, operating on the PRR.
This unit was in service on the Gladstone-Wilmington line until PRR
bought
it (the loco, not the line), when the line was closed.
NJ class DEs, used on the CAR and NAR, are still in service (I think) on
the Eyre Peninsula.
