It may surprise some to find out Aurizon own two CF class - most of which are owned by RailFirst Asset Management (a rolling stock lessor) - but these two were sold to Aurizon in 2016. They form one sub type (out of 9 classes of Aurizon C44ACi locomotives - being the 6000, 6020, 6040, AC, ACB, ACC, ACD, CF and GWU classes) in Aurizon's fleet. All up, they own 59 C44's as at the 3rd of July 2023. If you include the 12 5000 (C40ACi) and 25 5020 (C44acHi) locomotives they own 96.
