Clyde Engineering JT26C-2SS locomotive

The JT26C-2SS is a model of heavy haul diesel electric locomotive designed and built by Clyde Engineering in Australia, based on Electro-Motive Division designs. There were 3 derivative models produced for 3 different government operators in Australia. These variants are:

• New South Wales 81 class locomotive
• Australian National BL class
• V/Line G Class

These locomotives were developed from the J26C-2SS design used for the New South Wales 422 class locomotive which added a turbocharger, amongst other design improvements. They are also similar to the Australian National AL class.
