The 5000 class are a class of diesel locomotive built by United Group Rail, Broadmeadow for QR National between 2005 and 2007.

In 2004, QR National ordered twelve 5000 class locomotives from United Group Rail.

They were a heavy haulage version of the NR class and were purchased to haul coal trains from Mount Arthur coal mine, Muswellbrook in the Hunter Valley.

GE 5GEB13 AC traction motors transfer this power to the rail through bogies in the Co-Co formation.
