The livery was introduced as a new corporate identity of Australian National in 1982, diverging away from the previous maroon and silver of the Commonwealth Railways.
First applications were applied to two 930 class (944 & 953), along with twelve AHGX grain hoppers, for a promotional release of the livery. A Brake Van (AVAY) was painted as well, however its scheme was reversed yellow with green (later a variation of this style became the AN Tasrail livery).
Over the next 17 years this scheme covered just under 300 locomotives, being replaced in 1997 following the sale of Australian National, out of Government control, to US company Genesee & Wyoming, who initially operated as Australian Southern Railroad.
The Green and Gold livery had many variations, some being -: roof colour being green or grey, bogie colour being yellow or black, side location of vertical yellow stripe with logo, and the number varied between classes.
