History

In November 2011 UGL Rail announced it would develop a 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) gauge version of the GE PowerHaul locomotive.[1][2]

UGL are manufacturing three prototypes at their Broadmeadow factory.[3][4] They are similar in appearance to the UGL Rail C44aci class.

In July 2016, UGL secured a contract to supply three units to Pacific National for use in Queensland.[5]
