The D35 class are a class of diesel locomotives built by English Electric, Rocklea for Australian Iron & Steel's, Port Kembla steelworks between 1971 and 1975.
History
The D35 class were purchased to haul trains on Australian Iron & Steel's, Port Kembla network. They were used on coal trains from Kimera, Nebo and Wongawilli collieries as well as steel mill services. A downturn in the late 1970s saw six leased to the Public Transport Commission where as well as operating services in the Illawarra region, they operated as far as Bombo and Sydney.[1][2][3][4]
All passed to Pacific National in August 2007 when BlueScope Steel outsourced the operation of its rail network.[5][6] The remaining examples are expected to be withdrawn in 2014.[7]
