Description

Rio Tinto originally ordered ten of these units from General Electric in 2007. They differ from the US version (ES44DC) in that the cooling system is larger for the extreme climate of the Pilbara. The frame length is 76 feet, and that and the radiator design is similar to the AC6000.

Follow up orders mean a roster of some 100 locos.

They have two colour schemes, the units 8100 to 8118 are in the Rio Tinto silver livery, with a large Rio Tinto on the hood. Subsequent deliveries have been in the "tiger stripe" livery, being sliver with four red diagonal stripes on the hood / radiator section and red Rio Tinto on the cab side.
