In 1969, Australian Iron & Steel purchased D34 which was similar to the R class that English Electric were building for the Western Australian Government Railways. It was the largest locomotive operated by Australian Iron & Steel to haul coal trains from Kemira, Nebo and Wongawilli collieries to Port Kembla.[1] [2] [3] [4]
