R3

R3 is a 3 Car Suburban R Set in Southbourne Railways, It is coupled to R2. This meant that it was one of the longer sets of trains running on the Southbourne Railway Network. It was serving on the Northern line, participating in all-stop services on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Though it would do an occasional express service stopping at Bowrania, Clydeson, Alpha Junction, Tonkton, Grandton Central and back again. Alone, it was a 3 car set, which meant it was small, compared to other sets, just like the Rainbow Lorikeet, smaller than other birds in the area. Rainbow Lorikeets often do a screech loud, but short. This train's brakes often would fault for half a second, which one day gave the guard of the train an idea. The nickname (and then official name): Rainbow Lorikeet, was put in place, giving it the famous name we love today. Like R2, however, it got too annoying for the neighbors, who filed noise complaints. It was then fixed in a repair session, but the name lives on!
