The NR class locos are used almost exclusively on NR trains,
although
they have made recent appearances on the Overland. This class
is the
first in Australia to have a variable horsepower, with three settings
available. The class is also the first to have the Australian flag
painted on the side of the loco.
To make the appearance of their locos more interesting, a few have been
painted in customised liveries, as follows:
Aboriginal liveries: NR30, 52 (the latter has been nicknamed the
"pizza").
Trailerail (similar to normal livery): NR53, 54, 55.
SeaTrain (dark blue): NR56, 57.
Steelink (blue-grey): NR58, 59, 60.
NR29, 73 and 103 have also been painted in a new Pacific National
livery.
Meanwhile, NR74, 75 and 109 have been painted in a bright red livery
for use
on the Ghan, while NR25 and 28 are in a navy blue Indian Pacific livery. See the
Photo Gallery for photos.

Many of the NR class have already been named, most being after
cities
/ locations associated with railways. NR apparently planned to name the
entire fleet of 120, but this has not happened.
NR75 (and later, NR74) are named for tourism promotion in conjunction
with their work on the Ghan.
Finally, NR109 is named in honour of an early Northern Australia
Railway loco.
