The KTM Class 19 are a class of 10 Bo'Bo' shunting locomotives built by Hitachi in 1983 for Keretapi Tanah Melayu (Malayan Railway).[2] The locomotives are based in major train stations as station pilots. As they are classed as shunters, they are limited to major train stations only and do not operate on the mainline.

History

10 locomotives were acquired in 1983 and were assigned shunting duties around Malaysia.[3] As of July 2025 all are in active service.
