DBZ 2306 is named "Shire of Dardanup", a local government area in the South West region of Western Australia, immediately to the east and southeast of the city of Bunbury.The DB class is a class of diesel-electric locomotives built by Clyde Engineering, Rosewater, for Westrail in 1982/83. In June 2006, all were included in the sale of Australian Railroad Group's Western Australian operation to QR National. Between 2006 and 2012, all were equipped with ZTR engine control equipment. A change in policy saw letter classifications reintroduced, with the class again becoming the DB class. Upon being fitted with ZTR equipment, they were reclassified as DBZs. The Co-Co narrow gauge DBZ have a fuel capacity of 6,000 l / 1,585 US gal. |
