Hamersley Iron ALCO C-628 #2000. A diesel electric built in the USA for Hamersley Iron in 1965. 2000 was the first of five of this type, which formed Hamersley's first mainline fleet of locos. They were at that time the heaviest and most powerful mainline diesel electric’s in Australia. 2000 is the only survivor of the five, and was donated to the Museum in 1983 by Hamersley Iron. This currently sits out the front of Rio Tinto 7 Mile Facility. (© Pilbara Railways Historical Society Inc.) |
