Remarks & Notes 
5120 was built by General Electric's Erie, PA plant and entered service as DX 2611 in 1972. From 1988 the DX class received cab modifications including replacement of twin front windows to allow single crewing. Further modifications followed and first rebuilt DXR appeared in 1993 with radically different cab. With new motors and Brightstar fitted remaining DX locos were classified DXB and DXC. All remain in service and are many a rail fan's favorite locomotive in both sight and sound.

Trains on 3' 6" (1.067m) track from Whangarei to Bluff with virtually heritage rebuilt EMD and GE locomotives still the mainstay power. The network was privatized in 1990's and operated by Toll until 2008 when state owned KiwiRail was established.
