The 1450 class was a class of diesel locomotive built by Clyde Engineering, Granville for Queensland Railways in 1957/58.
History
The 1450 class was an evolution of the 1400 class, being built as a Co-Co instead of an A1A-A1A. This increased the weight by 14 tonnes (13.8 long tons; 15.4 short tons) but improved the tractive effort. They mainly operated in South East Queensland. The first was withdrawn in December 1986.
Three have been preserved by Queensland Rail's Heritage Division, and are stored at Workshops Rail Museum, North Ipswich:
