| Hamersley Iron - ALCO C-415 #1000. A diesel electric built in the USA in 1966. The first of this type to be made, it was used as demonstration unit by Alco, and toured in the USA before being purchased by Hamersley Iron in 1968. It was used for ballast and work trains, and shunting in Seven Mile Yard. Donated to the Museum by Hamersley Iron in 1972, it has seen extensive use on passenger trains since that time. This is the only loco of this type to operate outside of North America. (© Pilbara Railways Historical Society Inc.) |
