Nine EMD-powered C-Cs (model ML3) were built in Australia by Clyde Engineering of Granville, New South Wales, for delivery to the Pakistan Railways (broad gauge 5’6′) in 1955 as part of The Colombo Plan.

Photos of them in action are few and far between, but Jeffrey Bounds was lucky enough to capture 2105 on shed at Padidan (on the mainline between Kotri & Rohri Junction) on 4 February 1976.

There have been no sightings of them for many years and the general consensus is that they have all been scrapped.
