The 1400 class was a class of diesel locomotive built by Clyde Engineering, Granville for Queensland Railways between 1955 and 1957.
History
In 1955 Clyde Engineering demonstrated an Electro-Motive Diesel G12 locomotive to Queensland Railways who purchased it along with two other demonstrators under construction, and also placed an order for a further 10. The first three were initially numbered 1230-1232, before being reclassified as the 1400 class.[1] They mainly operated in South East Queensland.[2][3] The first was withdrawn in December 1986.
Two have been preserved:[4]
- 1400 Mackay Heritage Railway
- 1407 Queensland Rail Heritage Division, stored at Workshops Rail Museum, North Ipswich
- 7 similar G12 (New Zealand Railways Da class) locomotives are preserved in New Zealand
