Like the 50 class, the 60 class was bought to upgrade the fleet, and this class has the distinction of being the only Clyde locos in the Pilbara (Goldsworthy had a Clyde loco for a couple of years). They were also the only Clyde locos that were kit-built, and apparently not the most reliable.
With the introduction of the 70 class, these locos have been sold to America, like the 30/40 and 50 classes.
