Classing: CF - CFCLA (Original buyer)
The CF class are a new build locomotive purchased by CFCLA from UGL. They were the first new build locomotives ordered by CFCLA. CF4401 to CF4403 were originally leased to Pacific National for coal train workings in the Hunter Valley. At the time of ordering, it was speculated that CFCLA would initially order 6 units with 2 further batches of 6 ordered if there was demand, only one additional order of 6 eventuating. CF's 4407 and 4408 were completed in CFCLA colours however after they were delivered they were almost immediately repainted into Freightliner colours before they even entered service. In April/May 2014 CF's 4401, 4403, 4409 and 4410 were hauled to UGL Bassendean and then trucked to the Pilbara for long term lease to Rio Tinto and upon finishing their hire, 4401 and 4409 were sold to Aurion after arriving in Perth, the transfer of ownership happening on the 24/10/2016.
