The Tasmanian Government Railways and their successors, Australian National and ATN–Tasrail, have owned 198 individual diesel locomotives since 1948, including thirteen locomotives which were purchased but never operated. The Emu Bay Railway owned 11 mainline diesel-hydraulic locomotives and two diesel shunting engines. Of these locomotives only 57 now remain in Tasrail ownership, although not all of these are operational.
From late June 1998 the ex-AN Tasrail locomotive fleet was progressively renumbered. Both the old and the new identities are shown in the table. Whilst no class letters are shown on the locos, these classifications are still commonly used.
Locomotives highlighted in green and with status in italics are part of the Tasrail fleet.

Locomotives ‘Preserved operational’ are either fully or partly operational or under repair to operational condition, and includes some locomotives not currently in service.
ZC class locomotives with 13xx numbers were not put into service by
Tasrail.
Former Westrail loco A1507 was not operational, and was obtained for spare parts only and never entered service
There is a discrepancy between Oberg's Locomotives of Australia and the ARHS Bulletin over which ZC locomotives became which MKA class. The Oberg conversion details appear more likely to be correct. MKA1–4 were used in Malaysia, with MKA5 and 6 being used on the BHP Whyalla railway in South Australia.
Australian Southern Railway took over the Australian National intrastate operations in South Australia in November 1997.
