The 49 class are a class of diesel locomotives built by Clyde Engineering, Granville for the New South Wales Department of Railways between 1960 and 1964.

History

4908 when owned by 3801 Limited at Wagga Wagga in June 2006

The 49 class was ordered in three batches each of six locomotives. They entered service in the Western Region of New South Wales and hauled trains on all branchlines as well as mainlines west of Lithgow. They periodically travelled as far a field as Moree in the north-west and Cootamundra in the south-west.[1]

Between July and November 1989, the whole class was transferred to Delec Locomotive Depot in Sydney.[2][3] As well as metropolitan trip workings they were used on coal trains to Tahmoor on the Main South line.[4] In January 1994, they began to operate on the Illawarra line to Bombo on ballast trains.[5]

In June 1994, the Manildra Group leased 4907 from FreightCorp for use at its Gunnedah mill.[6] Later in 1994, Manildra purchased 4907 along with 4913 and had them rebuilt by Clyde Engineering, Kelso with lower No.1 ends, the second being for use at their Manildra mill.[7][8] To haul infrastructure trains in Victoria during the Melbourne-Adelaide railway standard gauge conversion project, 4903, 4912 and 4916 were leased to National Rail in late 1994.[9]

In February 1995, the remaining examples still in service with FreightCorp were withdrawn.[10] Most were returned to traffic later in 1995[11] before again being withdrawn in July 1997.[12] In April 1998, 4910 was leased for seven months to Northern Rivers Railroad hauling services between Grafton and Murwillumbah.[13]

By 1999, the 49s had begun to be sold with 3801 Limited, Chicago Freight Car Leasing Australia, Consolidated Rail Leasing, Patrick Portlink and Southern Shorthaul Railroad among those to have operated them, with many having had more than one owner post FreightCorp.[1][14] Northern Rivers Railroad purchased a number, although none entered service. They were either resold or stripped for spares with the bogies off some used to regauge Queensland Railways 1502 class locomotives when converted to the 423 class.[15]

Today[when?], Southern Shorthaul Railroad own and operate 4904, 4908, 4910, 4911 and 4917, as well as Manildra Group's MM02 (ex- 4913) being used on some grain trains. 4910 has been out of service[as of?] following a level crossing collision at Rockview in 2023, between Junee and Marrar, during which it derailed and tipped over. It is currently stored[as of?] at SSR's North Bendigo Workshops pending possible repairs.[16]

4916 is owned by Transport Heritage NSW[as of?] and can be regularly seen operating a variety of tourist trains around the state, or else stabled at the NSW Rail Museum, Thirlmere.
