The D1 class were a class of diesel locomotives built by Commonwealth Engineering, Granville for Australian Iron & Steel's, Port Kembla steelworks in 1950/51. ==History== In May 1950 D1 became the first diesel to operate on an Australian main line. The eight D class locomotives hauled trains on Australian Iron & Steel's, Port Kembla until a downturn in the early 1980s saw most of the class withdrawn.〔"Australian Iron & Steel" ''Railway Digest'' October 1986 pages 299-303〕〔(750 Class (Port Kembla) ) Railpage〕 D6 and D7 were reactivated with the former remaining in service until 2004.
