CLP16 @ Outer Harbor
CLP16 at Outer Harbor - taken just on sunset, Wednesday 10 February 2016.
The former Commonwealth Railways took delivery of 17 EMD-powered CL class locomotives from Clyde Engineering between 1970-1972.
Ownership was transferred to Australian National in 1978 and fifteen years later the class was re-manufactured by Morrison Knudsen Australia into two sub-classes - CLP/CLF.
In the privatisation era ownership of the class was ultimately split between Genesee & Wyoming Australia and Aurizon. The Aurizon units are all stored, unlikely to run again, while six remain in service with GWA.
