History
The 1450 class was an evolution of the 1400 class, being built as a Co-Co instead of an A1A-A1A. This increased the weight by 14 tonnes (13.8 long tons; 15.4 short tons) but improved the tractive effort.[1] They mainly operated in South East Queensland.[2][3] The first was withdrawn in December 1986.
Three have been preserved by Queensland Rail's Heritage Division, and are stored at Workshops Rail Museum, North Ipswich:[4]
