The New Zealand TR class locomotive[nb 1] is a type of diesel shunting locomotives built by many different manufacturers. Defined as "shunting tractors" or "rail tractors"[1] by KiwiRail and its predecessors,[2] they are classified "TR" for tractor as a result.[3] Many of these locomotives have been withdrawn, but some are still in service. The first locomotive of this class was built by NZR in 1924. The most powerful were Japanese-built Hitachi TRs, with 138 kW Cummins engines.[4]
