The KTM Class 19 is a class of shunting locomotive for Keretapi Tanah Melayu. The locomotives are based in major train stations for duty of shunting freight and passenger cars. As they are classed as shunters, they are limited to major train stations only and do not operate on the mainline.
10 locomotives were acquired around 1983 and were quickly assigned shunting duties around Malaysia. As of February 2015 all are in active service.
