G26 may also refer to the Glock 26 firearm.
The G26 is a General Motors diesel-electric locomotive built for export use in different countries in the world. Rail companies using the G26 locomotives today include: Australian Railroad Group, Freight Australia, ONCF, Iran State Railways, Croatian Railways, Israel Railways, Korail, and more. They were acquired to increase traction capacities on the tracks which supported lesser axle pressure. The locomotives were intended for hauling freight and passenger trains on the mainlines.

Queensland Rail purchased 102 GL26C-2 locomotives in 1970, locally built by Comeng for Clyde Engineering, and known as the 2100 class. Ten of the 2100 class have since been sold to Chile.[2]
