For more than 20 years, these two locos were the mainstay of the
fleet at Weipa. After the transfer of a more recent loco from
Goldsworthy, the
second of these two locos was sold to Westrail to add to their L class.
Later on, L276 headed east to Australian Transport Network, and the
Rail Technical Support Group.
