Y Class (VIC Diesel)

 

    • Contributions by michaelgreenhill

    Description

    A total of seventy five Y Class were ordered by the Victorian Railways from Clyde Engineering, delivered in three batches from 1963 of twenty five locos each. Obtained to dieselise shunting operations, the reliability of these locos soon saw them working all kinds of trains, from branch line freight to commuter passenger services.

    The surviving Y Class locomotives are mostly in storage, with a handful of units being maintained as shunters by Pacific National, V/Line, Downer Rail and Bluescope Steel.
