Queensland Railways 2370 class

Diesel and Electric Locomotives

The Queensland Railways 2370 class was a class of diesel locomotives built in 1975 by English Electric at Rocklea for Queensland Railways in Australia. It was an evolution of the 2350 class and was built for the Blackwater and Moura coal lines, with the locomotives based at Gladstone. The class became surplus after the coal lines were electrified, and in 1987 all were sold to AN Tasrail, where they entered service as the ZB class and were very similar to the Tasrail Za class. In 2003 one was sold to South Spur Rail Services and shipped to Western Australia for infrastructure trains. The sole survivor, now numbered 2128, is preserved at the Don River Railway.
