The 82 class was manufactured by Clyde Engineering between 1994 and 1995, a total of 58 were built for FreightCorp, designed to modernise the FreightCorp fleet. Effectively phasing out a majority of the first generation ALCo 442 classes, as well as a small portion of the EMD 422 class. The 82 class design was based on the prototype GML10, originally R1004 built 2 years prior in 1990.
In 1992 FreightCorp placed an order for 55 82 Class locomotives to be built at Clyde Engineering, Kelso, as time went on the order increased from 55 to 58 locomotives. As well as this Clyde Engineering, Kelso was also running out of space, which resulted in Clyde Engineering lease the Australia National Industries facility at Braemar to full-fill the order.
