Australia is a big place...similar in size to the USA , but with not much in the middle in the way of towns! Since freight trains became mostly private companies in the late 90's , the previous government run railway camps and small towns , did not suit the new, profit driven and more efficient rail companies. Instead of train crews staying in small , remote camps, crew cars were built so that drivers and other staff, could eat, shower and sleep while their train continued on across the vast plains. While this may not be as restful as a motel bed , the crews can get back home quicker and into their own beds!
