Previous description | The Q Class was introduced onto the Westrail SG network in 1997/98. 19 were built to the Clyde/EDI-EMD GT46C design, and a further 4 nearly identical units went to Freightlink for the Darwin line (FQ01-04) and one (V544) for V/Line-Freight Australia. The units for Westrail were built at three plants: Bassendean, WA; Somerton, Vic and Kelso, NSW.
