History

[edit]

The CK class were essentially rebuilt versions of the low nose T class locomotives entering service with Australian National in October 1992. They were included in the sale of Australian National to Australian Southern Railroad in November 1997. One was resold to SCT Logistics with the remaining four operating on the narrow gauge Eyre Peninsula Railway as at January 2014.[1][2]
