The S class are a class of diesel locomotives built by Clyde Engineering, Forrestfield for Westrail in 1998.

History

The S class were the first dual-cab locomotives purchased by Westrail. In May 1996 nine were ordered from Clyde Engineering as part of an order that also included 15 {{Track gauge|1435mm|allk=on}} Q class locomotives.[1][2] The order later extended to eleven.[3][4] They are an evolution of the FreightCorp 82 class. All were assembled at a facility established by Clyde Engineering within Westrail's Forrestfield Depot to fulfill the contract. The frames were built at Clyde's Somerton plant with other components manufactured at Kelso.[5]

The S class locomotives entered service in June 1998 hauling ore and mineral trains in South West Western Australia.[6] All were in service by November 1998[7]

All were included in the sale of Westrail to Australian Railroad Group in December 2000, with the class redesignated as the 3300 class.[8] In June 2006, all were included in the sale of Australian Railroad Group's Western Australian operation to QR National.[9]
