UGL/GE CF Class

The CF class are C44acis built for the leasing company CFCL Australia, now Rail First Asset Management, with the first twelve entering service between 2011 and 2013 and more following from 2022. Most are still owned by Rail First and leased to various operators, but Aurizon bought two of them outright, CF4401 and CF4409.
