First seen in 1976, the TX/0
(then referred to simply as TX; The /0 was added to differentiate the TX/0 from the later models) has reliably carried people through Akarea's far-away rural corners for nearly 50 years. It's low power draw means the advantages of electric locomotion can be experienced even in the most far-away stretches of country, where higher-power systems would interfere with the scenery. |

Nicknamed "clanks" by
disgruntled commuters, the SE/10 was AR's genius plan to the railway's domination over buses in the mid-1980s, which caused an influx of passengers that the existing rolling stock could not cope with. Disused buses would be converted into short-distance diesel trainsets, to run for a few years until a more pernament rolling stock could be put into operation; The SE/10 was not popular, with its loud engine, uncomfortable ride and poor performance. Since their decommisioning in 1991 following the start of services with SE/20 trains, the entire SE/10 fleet has been sat gathering dust in warehouses across the country ever since. |
