The NRE 2GS16B-AU is a genset locomotive manufactured by National Railway Equipment Company, Paducah, Kentucky for use in Australia.
In 2014, Pacific National took delivery of seven NRE 2GS16Bs to replace its remaining D16 and D35 class locomotives on its BlueScope services in Port Kembla.[1] [2] [3]
Since the replacing of the very dated D16 and D35 classes, the PB class has been employed to work the steel loading process in Port Kembla Steelworks.
