KTM Class 19

Diesel and Electric Locomotives

The KTM Class 19 is a class of ten Bo-Bo shunting locomotives that Hitachi built in 1983 for Keretapi Tanah Melayu, the Malayan Railway of Malaysia. All ten were delivered in 1983 and given shunting duties at stations around the country. Because they are classed as shunters they are limited to the major railway stations, where they work as station pilots, and they do not run on the main line. According to the English Wikipedia article, as of July 2025 all ten locomotives were still in active service, more than forty years after delivery, which makes the class one of the longer lived Hitachi export locomotive orders for the Malayan network.
