Rio Tinto ES44DCi

Good evening to all. Has any one heard or seen word on when the Rio Tinto ES44DCi's will be shipping to Australia? If they have already begun when are they due down under?

I understand they are on their way.
I'll see if I can find more details.

The latest is, they are due to arrive around the middle to late January, 2008.
When I know the date, I maybe able to get there for a snap or two, of them under tarps.

But it's a good up hill pull out of the Port of Dampier to the Seven Mile workshops. Usually has a push - pull set-up with the trailer.

Cheers, and all the best for the season.

Rio Tinto's ES44DCi units were unloaded from the 29th of January 2008.
They'll all be at the Seven Mile depot, Dampier.

Cheers,

Following a trip down that way a few days ago.
