GWU class

Classing: GWU - Genesee and Wyoming Australia - UGL

The GWU is the classing for the new GWA locomotives from UGL. These locomotives were delivered in 2012 and a second delivery in 2013 looked imminent. The second batch was never actually delivered to GWA but UGL built two unpainted locomotives numbered as GWU's 010 and 011 in 2013. The two locomotives sat around for a while in the UGL compound in Broadmeadow NSW until finally being sold to Pacific National in 2016 and entered service in 2017 at 9318 and 9319.
