In the post-privatisation world, a number of these veteran units survive in commercial operation today. GM’s 22 and 27 are owned and operated in NSW/Victoria by Southern Shorthaul Rail, having been purchased from CFCLA , while the remaining operating members of the class are employed on grain and infrastructure trains in South Australia with US-based operator Genesee & Wyoming Australia. One unit is operationally preserved (GM36) by Seymour Rail Heritage Centre, Victoria.
