Siemens BMACC Class

BHP Mitsubishi Alliance ordered 13 Siemens E40 AG-V1 electrics in July 2012 for its Bowen Basin coal trains, the same design as Aurizon's 3800s and PN's 71s. Seven had arrived by February 2014, just after BMA Rail got the go-ahead to run on the Goonyella network from 1 January that year.
