Clyde Engineering is one of the oldest surviving locomotive
manufacturers, having built its first loco in 1892. Clyde is the
Australian license-holder for EMD, and the first Clyde-built
diesel loco, GM1, appeared in 1951. Since then, Clyde has built
over 1500 diesel (and a few electric) locomotives, both for
Australian operators, sugar mills, industrial locos, and for
export. They have (or had) factories at Granville (Sydney),
Bathurst, Somerton (Melbourne), Rosewater (Adelaide), Eagle Farm
(Brisbane - where the actual construction was done by Comeng at
Rocklea); as well as in conjunction with Comeng at Bassendean
(Perth), and also using the ANI plant at Mittagong. Clyde have
also worked with Walkers.
As well, EMD (in USA and Canada) has built several locos for
Australian operators, mostly for heavy-haul work for mining
operations. EMD is now part of Progress Rail (in turn, part of
Caterpillar).
In 2000, Evans Deakin Industries (Walker's parent company) took
over Clyde Industries, and the two then merged to become EDI Rail.
More recently, EDI itself was taken over by a foreign company.
Most of EDI Rail's manufacturing work is now done at Cardiff
(Newcastle) and Maryborough, with some also at Port Augusta.
EDI has also moved into manufacturing locos to lease to operators.
However, as from around 2013, manufacturing in Australia will
cease with additions to the TT and 83 classes likely to be the
last locally-built locos at Cardiff and Maryborough respectively.
EDI will do maintenance work only from this time.
