WAGR Q class (diesel)
This article does not have any sources. (November 2023) |
The WAGR Q class were a total of 19 diesel-electric locomotives operated by the Western Australian Government Railways (trading as Westrail) from 1997 to 2000.
The Q class were built by Clyde Engineering of Forrestfield, being based upon the Downer Rail EDI Rail GT46C. They replaced the aging L class on interstate and Kalgoorlie goods traffic. All units passed into the ownership of the Australian Railroad Group (ARG) in late 2000 with Westrail's sale to ARG that year. All remain in service, predominantly with Aurizon.
