The 3100/3200 class are a class of electric locomotives built by Comeng, Rocklea for Queensland Rail between 1986 and 1989. ==History== In July 1984, Comeng were awarded a contract to build 76 3100/3200 class electric locomotives with Hitachi supplying the electrical equipment. These were ordered to operate coal trains on the Blackwater and Goonyella railway lines that were in the process of being electrified. A further ten were later ordered. Design of the electrical equipment was by General Electric and Hitachi, with the bodies being built and assembled at Comeng's Rocklea factory.〔(Comeng/Hitachi 3100/3200 Class ) Queensland's Railways Interests Group〕 The first locomotive, 3101 ''Sir Joh Bjelke-Peterson'', was delivered on 26 May 1986.〔 All were fitted with Locotrol systems that allowed remote control locomotives in the centre of a train to be controlled from a command unit. Thus two separate classes were built, 19 class 3100 command units that could lead trains, and 67 class 3200 slave units.〔〔(3100 Class ) Railpage〕 In early 1997, four were fitted with of ballast to increase their tractive effort.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Queensland Railways 3100/3200 class」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
