Classing: LDP - Locomotive Demand Power
The LDP class was built by Downer EDI for their own leasing company Locomotive Demand Power. They are currently on a $45 million, five-year lease to QR National hence that some are in QRN livery. In 2013 EDI finished up locomoive production with 5 GT46C-ACe locomotives left unsold. These were transferred to LDP's ownership but were stored, unpainted after running their builders trials. LDP's 013 and 014 were sold to SSR for a grain contract in early 2014 to become the SSR class, never entering service as LDP's.
