The EMD G26 is a diesel-electric locomotive built in the United States by General Motors Electro-Motive Diesel for export and in Australia by Clyde Engineering under licence. It was developed to increase traction capacity on tracks that supported lighter axle loadings and was intended for main line freight and passenger traffic. Users past and present include the Australian Railroad Group, Freight Australia, Croatian, Slovenian and Serbian railways, PT Kereta Api in Indonesia, Iran, Israel Railways, Korail, ONCF in Morocco and the MTR Corporation. Victorian Railways bought 18 G26C units built by Clyde as the X class, Queensland Rail bought 102 GL26C-2 units in 1970 as the 2100 class, and Brazil received 36 G26CU units built by EMD in Illinois for metre gauge lines. Kowloon-Canton Railway bought three in 1973.
