The 2600 class are used almost exclusively for the Newlands and Collinsville coal mines, and are based at Pring, near Bowen. They make occasional trips south to Brisbane.
The class has been rebuilt in a similar fashion to the 2300 class, for use on the Mt Isa line. This includes an increased weight, and possibly a more powerful engine.
