Locomotive Profile – NSW 80 Class provides a comprehensive photographic record of the 80 class Alco diesel-electric locomotives, a powerful and versatile class that served the New South Wales Government Railways from the late 1970s. Built by Comeng for the Public Transport Commission between 1978 and 1983, these locomotives developed 1,650 kW of power, making them suitable for a wide range of passenger and freight services across the state.
Presented as a 56-page, full-colour, big-picture landscape album, this volume highlights the design, operation, and service of the 80 class locomotives, capturing them in action across both mainline and branch line operations. The book is ideal for railway enthusiasts, NSW rail historians, modellers, and collectors of Australian railway publications, preserving the legacy of one of NSW’s most significant diesel locomotive classes.
