    Today's historic photo of the day: A close-up of SRA NSW Goodwin-Alco built diesel locomotive 4522 sitting in the yard between shifts at Canberra, ACT, May 7 1985.
    The 45 class was (is) an Alco-powered locomotive built for the NSWGR by AE Goodwin between 1962 and 1964. The NSWGR wanted to completely replace steam locomotion with diesel, and following the success of the first batch of sixty 44 class (introduced 1957-1961) they opted to purchase slightly updated locos with the newer Alco 251C engine instead of the 251B in the 44 class, and to change to a hood body style instead of the older full width carbody design of the 44 class.
    A total of forty of the 45 class were built - the last arriving in 1964. Whilst the 45s were successful, the NSWGR's next order from Goodwins was for an additional forty 44 class (in 1965-1967) instead of more 45 class. Why was that?
    The 45s were never as photogenic as their more famous 44 class brothers, despite being just as powerful. The 45s were also not popular with crews who preferred the visibility from the front cabs of 44s rather than the restricted view from the side cabs on the 45s, and indeed in 1984 the drivers' union placed bans on the 45s as leading locomotives ostensibly for this reason. Nonetheless they continued to play a significant role usually 'in the shafts' on freight trains (and occasionally passenger trains too).
    Today, most 45s, including 4522 herself, have been withdrawn and scrapped, although a few have been preserved and one or two may remain operational in private ownership.
    A couple of details in this photo to note: You can see the AE Goodwin builders plate at the base of the locomotive's nose. 4522 is here just one of a a lineup of stabled locos: - on the right is 4428, and on the left is 42103. Oh for a lineup like that nowadays.
