DQ Class Locomotives in Tasmania (2017-2018) captures the powerful DQ class locomotives in action across Tasmania, focusing on their performance on the demanding Melba Line with its sharp curves and steep gradients.

The video begins at Coal Mine Bend, featuring locos 2006 and 2010 hauling a ballast train to the Brighton Transport Hub. We then follow loco 2011 on a paper and log train, visiting Danby, Lowdina, Campania, and Rekuna bank.

The major focus is on the Melba Line, showcasing quad DQ class units working ore trains at key locations like Pigeon Hill, Goodwood, Guildford, Moory Junction, Boco Siding, Farrell, and the Pieman River bridge.
