CBH takes delivery of seven Wabtec narrow-gauge locomotives. Published: May 6, 2026 at 1:00 PM The locomotives arrived in early April from Wabtec's Contagem manufacturing facility in Brazil. CBH Group has taken delivery of seven narrow-gauge locomotives from Wabtec Corporation, bringing its total of new units in Western Australia to 10. After unloading at the Australian Marine Complex in Henderson, the seven locomotives were transferred to Aurizon's Forrestfield yard for commissioning. They join three identical locomotives delivered in January as part of CBH's fleet expansion programme. CBH has also completed the first operational trials of the new locomotives on the Western Australia freight rail network. Three units operated test runs through the Southwest corridor, running to Coolup, Pinjarra and Wellard to validate performance under operating conditions. Following the trials, the three locomotives were moved to Avon for further works. The new narrow-gauge fleet is intended for grain haulage across CBH's regional network in Western Australia.
