The New Zealand DF class locomotive of 1979 is a class of 30 Co-Co diesel-electric locomotives built by General Motors Diesel of Canada between 1979 and 1981. Between 1992 and 1997 all the locomotives were rebuilt as the DFT class a turbocharged version of the DF.The class should not be confused with the English Electric NZR DF class of 1954; as all of the old DFs had been retired by mid-1975 the ‘DF’ classification was free to be re-used.
