2100 Class - Diesel Electric
<-BACK
The 2100 class was the mainstay of QR's coal haulage from the opening of the Bowen Basin lines through to electrification. After the electrification, they went on to more general freight traffic as well as the non-electrified coal lines, and now most are based in the Brisbane area or central Queensland. Initially, as each new coal mine was planned, a new batch of locos was ordered. The 2100, 2130, 2150, and 2170 classes were ordered for the Goonyella / Peak Downs, Saraji, Norwich Park, German Creek / Oaky Creek / Riverside / Blair Athol mines respectively. The 2141 class (initially the 2200 class) was used for the Greenvale nickel mine.
