The Tasmanian Government Railways Za class is a class of diesel locomotives built by English Electric at Rocklea for the Tasmanian Government Railways, the first four being delivered in 1973. They were ordered for the new line from Launceston to Bell Bay as 1752 kW locomotives derived from the Queensland Railways 2350 class, and two more followed in 1976, with ZA6 the last locomotive built by GEC Australia and the last English Electric locomotive built anywhere. The 1976 pair had a rounded cab roof like the Z class. The class passed to Australian National in 1978, was renumbered the 2114 class in 1998 and went into storage after the TR class arrived in 2014. Za1 and ZA6 have been saved for preservation.
