The 90 class is the heaviest class of diesel loco on any
government/former government
railway in Australia, and are the closest thing on such railways to the
Pilbara locos. They are used exclusively for export coal traffic in the
Hunter Valley. Like the 82 class, the locos are leased to FreightCorp
from Ready Power. The class is based at Kooragang Island, near
Newcastle. Due to their weight, their range
of operations is limited to the Hunter Valley, apart from rare trips to
DELEC
with limited fuel carried.
More 90 class have been ordered, and this time they are being
Australian-built (these new locos are EMD order 49136).
