The Siemens E40 AG-V1 is a type of electric locomotive built by Siemens Mobility for use in Queensland, Australia.
The design is based on the Queensland Railways 3700 class electric locomotive, rebuilt by UGL Rail from older locomotives using Siemens components. The engine room layout is similar to the 3700 class and the majority of the electrical components are identical. All are used on trains on the Queensland coal network.
In March 2006, Queensland Rail awarded a contract for the supply of 20 Class 3800 narrow gauge electric locomotives. [1] In August 2007, the order was increased to 45. [2] [3] In July 2010, these passed into the ownership of QR National.
Pacific National ordered 23 units in 2008 with the first delivered in February 2009. In July 2010, the order was increased to 32. [4] [5]
The BHP Mitsubishi Alliance ordered 13 locomotives in July 2012. [6] [7] [8] As at February 2014, seven had been delivered. [9] They will be used in the Bowen Basin.

The Siemens Desiro is a family of diesel or electric multiple unit passenger trains developed by Siemens Mobility, a division of the German Siemens AG conglomerate. The main variants are the Desiro Classic, Desiro ML, Desiro UK and the later Desiro City, Desiro HC and Desiro RUS. The trains are mostly used for commuter and regional services, and their rapid acceleration makes them suitable for services with short distances between stations. The design is flexible, and has become common in many European countries.
An electric locomotive is a locomotive powered by electricity from overhead lines, a third rail or on-board energy storage such as a battery or a supercapacitor. Locomotives with on-board fuelled prime movers, such as diesel engines or gas turbines, are classed as diesel-electric or gas turbine-electric and not as electric locomotives, because the electric generator/motor combination serves only as a power transmission system.
The 90 class are a class of heavy haul diesel-electric locomotives built by Electro-Motive Division, Canada for FreightCorp and EDi Rail, Cardiff for Pacific National for use on high tonnage Hunter Valley coal workings.
The EuroSprinter family of electric locomotives is a modular concept of locomotives for the European market built by Siemens Mobility. The internal Siemens product name is ES 64, with ES for EuroSprinter and the number 64 indicating the 6,400 kW power at rail.
Electronically controlled pneumatic brakes are a type of modern railway braking system which offer improved performance compared to traditional railway air brakes.
The GT46C is a model of diesel-electric locomotive designed and built by Clyde Engineering using Electro-Motive Diesel components. A number of Australian rail freight operators purchased them from 1997: Westrail as the Q class, FreightLink as the FQ class, and Freight Australia as the single-locomotive V class. As of 2022, all 24 locomotives were owned by Aurizon following its purchase of certain One Rail Australia assets in July 2022.
The T class are a class of diesel locomotives built by Clyde Engineering, Granville for the Victorian Railways between 1955 and 1968.
