Aurizon operate the ALF Class locomotives on multiple different trains based out of Adelaide (Motive Power Centre). Such services include Intermodal services between Adelaide and Darwin, Grain (from multiple locations throughout South Australia and Western Victoria) and previously on Ore (on the 1911S/9112S Wirrida Ore train).
