Two RailFirst EL class locomotives were transhipped from rail to road floats at Parkeston WA on the 22nd of June 2023. They arrived in to Parkeston predawn on SCT's interstate service 2MP9.
The two EL class units are Goninan built C30-8 GE models, EL 51 serial number 8013-07 / 90-103, and EL 64 serial number 8013-10 / 91-116.
They will join eight former ARTC ballast waggons, CHRX class, which have also been road hauled to the Pilbara from Port Augusta / Spencer Junction.
The units are to be used for remedial ballast works on Rio Tinto's relatively new Koodaideri line.
A data sheet on the locomotives can be found on the RailFirst website, along with a data sheet for the CHRX ballast waggons.
