Remarks & Notes

The DBR class were rebuilt from EMD G8 1982-83. By 2017 all were withdrawn and most have been sold to heritage rail operators. 1199 was formerly leased to Auckland Transport for push pull trains. 1226 was a spare unit for these trains but not actually leased to AT. It was used on the port trains and is assisting on this train emerging from Purewa tunnel.
