The 82 class is a class of mainline diesel locomotive introduced in 1994 in the state of New South Wales. 58 were ordered by then freight operator Freightcorp, and were completed under a Ready Power contract, by Clyde Engineering, Mittagong, New South Wales. The introduction of these locomotives, along with the 90 class, have allowed the withdrawal of the older Freightcorp locomotives.
They have two cabs, built in a hood style. The 82 class has an EMD 12-710G3A engine, developing 2,425 kW (3,250 hp) of power. They have a mass of 132 t, Co-Co axles and have a maximum speed of 121 km/h. They are often seen operating in pairs, threes or fours. They also operate coupled to the 80 class, 81 class and 90 class.
The class were then acquired by Pacific National in the sale of Freightcorp. All are in the Freightcorp livery, with Pacific National decals over the Freightcorp logo.
8219, 8246 and 8247 were scrapped after a collision at Beresfield, NSW.
