ZB Class
Contributions by Raichase
Description
Purchased by (AN) Tasrail from Queensland Rail in 1987.
Initially the entire 2350 and 2370 classes were renumbered as ZB1-ZB15. Surviving units were later renumbered in the 2100 series (as well as the ZA Class), whilst two were rebuilt into the ZP/ZR Class.
For the sake of simplicity, both the original and renumbered locomotives appear in this category.
