History
Derived from the 2130 class, the 2150 class incorporated a modular control system and repositioned the sandboxes from the front end to the bogies. In 2004, ownership of all units passed to QR National, which later rebranded as Aurizon in 2012.
In 2011, four of these locomotives were sold to TasRail and redesignated as the 2050 class. Additionally, seven units were shipped to South Africa in August 2013, and three were reacquired by Queensland Rail from Aurizon in 2014.
