| In March 2006 Queensland Rail awarded a contract of twenty new Class 3800 locomotives to Siemens (internal design E40AC). The mechanical design of the carbody and bogies is new. Its electrical traction system is based on standard components and the proven design of QR Class 3700 locomotives. In 2007 QR increased the order to 45 units. With a continuous tractive effort of 450 kN, the E40AC locomotive is the highest powered narrow gauge electric locomotive in the world. |
