937 was one of 37 members of the 930 class Alco engined diesel locos built by AE Goodwin and delivered to the South Australian #Railways between 1955 and 1967. Even after the ANR took over the SAR in 1974, the 930s stayed in SA, but from the early '80s they did work through to Melbourne as here.

The Spirit of Progress ran for the last time 11 months beforehand in August 1986 but the carriage set and the 422 class diesel on the train in the platform identify it as a standard gauge set, so I can only speculate that may be a rare occasion when a second division of the Melbourne Express ran.
