Clyde Engineering is one of the oldest surviving locomotive
manufacturers,
having built its first loco in 1892. Clyde is the Australian
license-holder
for EMD, and the first Clyde-built diesel loco, GM1, appeared in 1951.
Since then, Clyde has built over 1400 diesel (and a few electric)
locomotives,
both for Australian operators, sugar mills, industrial locos, and for
export.
They have (or had) factories at Granville (Sydney), Bathurst, Somerton
(Melbourne), Rosewater (Adelaide), Eagle Farm (Brisbane - where the
actual construction was done by Comeng at Rocklea); as well as in
conjunction with
Comeng
at Bassendean (Perth), and also using the ANI
plant
at Mittagong. Clyde have also worked with Walkers. As well, EMD (in USA
and Canada) has built around 30 locos for Australian operators.
In 2000, Evans Deakin Industries (Walker's parent company) took over
Clyde Industries, and the two then merged to become EDI Rail. More
recently,
EDI itself was taken over by a foreign company.
EDI has also moved into manufacturing locos to lease to operators.
