82 class
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 82 Class were introduced in 1994, by Freightcorp. 58 were ordered, and were completed under a Ready Power contract, by Clyde Engineering, Mittagong. The introduction of these locomotives, along with the 90 class, have allowed the withdrawal of the older Freightcorp locomotives.
They have two cabs, built in a hood style. The 82 class has an EMD 12-710G3A engine, developing 2425kW (3250hp) of power. They have a mass of 132t, Co-Co axles and have a maximum power of 121km/h.
The class were then bought off with the company Freightcorp, by Pacific National. These locomotives are used generally for mainline freight services. They are often seen operating in pairs, threes or fours. They also operate coupled to the 80 class, 81 class and 90 class.
All are in the Freightcorp livery, with Pacific National Decals over the Freightcorp logo.
8219, 8246 and 8247 were scrapped after a collision at Beresfield.
