The X100 and X200 classes were rail tractors, and could perhaps be
considered more powerful equivalents of V/Line's RT class. They were
used for shunting at various locations around NSW. The X100 class were
built on AD-60 steam loco bogies. To create some confusion, some of
these rail tractors were reclassified
and renumbered between the two classes (including number-swapping). A
couple
still survive in service.
The difference between the X100 and X200 classes was that the X100 had
no train brake, and were confined to yard limits; while the X200 had a
train brake, and could operate on main lines.
One was sold to QR Interail recently to become a shunter, while a few
others are with
CRT.
QR -
Interail:
X117 is used for shunting at Casino for a time. It was originally
numbered
X217. X209 is ex-CRT (along with some other ex-CRT X200 class
rail tractors as well), before being onsold to SCT.
QR also took over CRT, and with it their X200's, although none of these
are in use.
SCT:
SCT bought two of the X200's for shunting at their freight terminals,
these being X209 and X107 for the Laverton (Melbourne) and Parkes
terminals respectively.
