| Remarks & Notes |
| The DF class were built by GM in Canada and introduced from 1979. In 1990's were upgraded with turbo etc to GT22 MC. Over the last few years most of the survivors, to the delight of rail fans, have been refurbished at Hutt workshops at a cost said to be over $1M each locomotive. The North Auckland line has been under threat of closure for years but the new government is funding an upgrade of the line. |
