Transwa WDA/WDB/WDC class

The TransPerth Prospector is a diesel multiple unit used in Western Australia on the Eastern Goldfields Railway in Western Australia for regional passenger services that came into service in 2004.
== History ==
In December 2000, Westrail made a contract with United Gonain in Broadmeadow, NSW to build 9 new railcars to replace the aging 1971 built WCA/WCE railcars. Like the railcars they replaced, they were put on the standard gauge AvonLink trains to Northam and on the Propsector train to Kalgoorlie, improving transit times between Perth and Kalgoorlie by two hours.
The AvonLink being a pseudo-commuter route to the Avon Valley and the Wheatbelt going between Perth and Northam several times a day and the Kalgoorlie being a long distance luxury service with one return a day.
== Preservation ==
All are in regular service.
== Specifications ==
The engines have a top speed of 200 km/h (124 mph), however given the many track conditions (pathing of large numbers of freight trains, level crossings) they are limited in regular service to 168 km/h (104 mph) [stats for weight and axle load needed].
The engine's prime movers were manufactured by Cummins. The cars consist of a WDA driving car, a WDB driving car without a buffet and a WDC motorised non driving car.
