Tasrail loco 2003 visited Christchurch for the opening of the new freight
terminal and was on display to the invited guests.

The loco was painted in the new "corporate" colours of Tasrail which are as
follows:-

Main body colour is a pinky red with a solid yellow stripe around the
hoods.
The Australian flag is enblasoned on the stripe as well as "Tasrail" in
reflective red letters.
There is a placard on the bullbars with Tasrail on it also.
The head stocks are black both ends.


Its nice to see that red with yellow stripes are the new scheme- brings back
memories of the X and Y class in the 1960's and early 70's. Pics of the
"new" locos can be found on the Tasrail site
