Progress Rail 2700 Class
The 2700s, nicknamed the "Super Clydes", are six GT38CU-3s that Progress Rail rebuilt at Redbank for Aurizon from old 2170 and 2300 class Clydes, with the first going into service in 2019. They lost their EMD 645s for the newer EMD 710, and they're on general freight and minerals trains.
