Classing: 442s - 442 class Silverton

The 442s class is a Silverton reclassing of a number of NSW 442 class locomotives with the addition of an S into the classing and a new numbering scheme starting from 1 after refurbishment and return to service. Despite all of the class now being owned by different operators, mainly in leasing service, many of them retain their 442s class number.
