The CSR Ziyang SDA1 is a high-powered
History and design
In September 2010,
Initial specifications for the locomotives (manufacturer's code SDA1) were for a 120 km/h (75 mph) dual cab,
Testing started in early 2012, which included hauling a large iron ore train at up to 130 km/h (81 mph) between Port Augusta and Adelaide. The locomotives passed their introductory tests on 5 March 2012, allowing operations on mainline routes in Australia to commence. On 16 March 2012 two locomotives successfully hauled a 8,080 t (7,950 long tons; 8,910 short tons) train on a 1% grade, completing SCT's tests.[8][9][10]
In October 2013, the entire fleet was withdrawn from service and quarantined, after white asbestos was found in the engine area. This is despite the locomotives being certified as asbestos free.[17][18] By January 2014, remediation work had been carried out and most of the class was already back in service.[19]
In mid 2021 SCT Logistics ordered 12 more SDA1s from CRRC Ziyang with the first two being delivered in July[20] and two more in December.
