Eight C36-7M units entered service from 1987 with Mount Newman Mining in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. They were rebuilt from Alco C636 locomotives and all were sold when newer units became available. Four were obtained by Goninan (now UGL). Number 5509 was transferred to New South Wales for use as an engine-test bed at Landsdowne, near Taree.
