The 3100 and 3200 classes were the first of the electric locos in
QR's massive electrification scheme in the Bowen Basin coalfields. This
class is
based at Jililan (near Sarina), and works the northern end of the
coalfields. The 31xx locos are fitted with Locotrol.
Accidents have claimed a few members of the class.
3700
class:
Three of the class (3213, 3217 and 3226) have been rebuilt by United
Goninan-Siemens as a trial
to rebuilding most of the remainder of the class.
The advantages of this new class are higher power and tractive effort,
something needed with the booming export coal industry in Queensland.
Named locomotives:
