VIC XR Class Locomotives
The XR class are a class of diesel locomotives built by Freight Australia and Pacific National at South Dynon Locomotive Depot. Between 2002 and 2004, Freight Australia rebuilt six X class locomotives with engines cascaded from G class locomotives, larger radiators, and a new cab to provide better driver visibility. The first six (XR550 - XR555) were converted from X38, X35, X40, X33, X34 and X32 respectively. A seventh (XR556) was planned to be converted from X36 but never eventuated.
A further three (XR557 - XR559) were built in 2004/05 by Freight Australia's successor, Pacific National, as new-builds. In 2020, several were placed in store due to a poor grain harvest. As at October 2022, all nine were active, seven on the broad gauge and two (XR558 and XR559) on standard gauge.
