These locos were originally owned by the Hydro-Electric Commission
(HEC) in Tasmania, and used in their underground tunnels, before being
sold to
Energy Brix.
They were the sole motive power used on the Yallourn-Morwell line once
the Cooks Construction locos were withdrawn. However, with the closure
of the Inter-Connecting Railway in late 2000 / early 2001 (due to
expansion of the coal mines), all the class have been withdrawn.
