The 2130 class was a class of diesel locomotives built by Clyde Engineering, Eagle Farm for Queensland Railways in 1974–1975.
The 2130 class were an evolution of the 2141 class. They differed by having a flatter roofline to give better clearance when operating under wires. They were financed by the developers of the Saraji coal mine.[1] [2] [3]
Between 2005 and 2007, all were rebuilt as 2250 class locomotives.[4] [5]
