These locos are second-hand from USA and Mexico; and will be used as
motive
power on an interim basis until BHP Iron Ore make more orders to
replace existing locos.
Note that most of the class carry two serial numbers, these are frame
and builders numbers; later on, the frame numbers became the builders
numbers for EMD units.
