(It appears that GJX 3 has had its grade control equipment removed but it still carries its X classification)

200 GJX's (1 - 100 were all aluminum and built by Tulloch NSW, 101 - 200 were steel construction and built by Steelweld) were built but by the late 70's only 20 remained with the rest being recoded to GJF. The 20 that were left were of the all aluminium design.
It appears that in the late 70's some GJX's got a new horizontal stiffener added to the ends as shown on the above photo of GJX 3 and GJX 15 shown below. |
