D34 was a diesel locomotive built by English Electric, Rocklea for Australian Iron & Steel's, Port Kembla steelworks in 1969.
History
In 1969 Australian Iron & Steel purchased D34 which was similar to the R class that English Electric were building for the Western Australian Government Railways. It was the largest locomotive operated by Australian Iron & Steel to haul coal trains from Kimera, Nebo and Wongawilli collieries to Port Kembla.[1][2][3][4]
In April 2011, D34 was sold to the Lithgow State Mine Heritage Park & Railway.[5][6]
