1952 was one of the truly revolutionary years for the Queensland Railways. It was in that year that the first DEL (Diesel Electric Locomotives) entered service. The new motive power would forever change the railway landscape of Queensland. Almost overnight, it demonstrating the economic, and operational benefits of modern diesel locomotives.
In this episode we’ll look at how Queensland Railways progressively transitioned from steam to operate with diesel for the next three decades, on long distance, suburban, and freight trains.
We also chat with Melanie Fyfe, Manager of Regional Train Service Delivery at Queensland Rail. Mel discusses the new 2900 diesel loco upgrades, the team of regional train drivers her team oversees, and her career in the railway so far.
