PROTOTYPE INFORMATION
AMPOL NTAF BLOCK TRAIN
This group of cars was owned and operated by Caltex. They were decorated in 1997 in the bright Ampol blue, red & grey livery. The cars were previously operated by companies merged with Caltex - Ampol & Golden Fleece - and cars acquired from CSR. Thus, several had the elongated dome with elbow safety valves or were the standard three dome type with modifications and central discharge pipes all having the standard 45' x 9" riveted underframe. There were several variations to the paint work depending on the contractors interpretation of the requirements.
