Queensland Railways 1450 class


The 1450 class was a class of diesel locomotive built by Clyde Engineering, Granville for Queensland Railways in 1957-1958.

History

The 1450 class was an evolution of the 1400 class, being built as a Co-Co instead of an A1A-A1A. This increased the weight by but improved the tractive effort. They mainly operated in South East Queensland. The first was withdrawn in December 1986.
