Restoration of NSW locomotive 4916 complete

 

"1960s diesel locomotive 4916 has received a full overhaul by Transport Heritage NSW’s workshop team. The project included body corrosion repairs, engine tone up, electrical systems overhaul and new draw gear . . . as well as a stunning repaint of both the interior and exterior. 

"4916 was originally built by Clyde Engineering and entered service with the NSW railways in 1964. The 49 class were originally introduced to haul trains on branch lines in the far western regions of NSW, including the long section of railway to Broken Hill.

"Delivered in several batches, 4916 represents the last group of the class to enter service. 4916 will help support THNSW’s future heritage train operations.

"Congratulations to our workshop team on a brilliant job!" (THNSW pic)
