It originally came from Queensland Rail in Australia, and was only used in NZ in its later years after being purchased to cover a motive power shortage during the years the operation was overseen by Wisconsin Central CEO Ed Burkhardt. Eventually the QR's were placed into storage and later sold to NREX

tell me it's cost effective to ship that thing half way round the world! Like they don't have enough stuff just rotting away right there.
