In Brazil, there are 41 locomotives imported. The first eleven locomotives introduced in 1962 and numbered 601-612, and the last thirty locomotives were imported between 1964 and 1966. Thirty-seven locomotives still operating trains of The Vitória a Minas Railroad (EFVM).

In Hong Kong, there are only 4 locomotives imported. The first three locomotives introduced in 1961 (built by GM in Illinois, USA) and numbered 56-58,and last one (59) introduced in 1966 (built by Clyde Engineering, Australia). All locos were equipped with 16-567C engines and Co-Co wheel arrangements. Note that the 59 has been changed to 16-645E engine since by a crash.

In the future, the locomotives will be retired in the 2010's.
