History
The 2150 class were an evolution of the 2130 class. They differed by having a modular control system and the sandboxes relocated from the nose to the bogies.[1][2][3] All were transferred to QR National in 2004, which became Aurizon in 2012.[citation needed]
In 2011, four were sold to TasRail entering service as the 2050 class.[4] In August 2013, seven were exported to South Africa.[5] Three were sold by Aurizon back to Queensland Rail in 2014.[citation needed]
