The XRB class are a class of diesel locomotives built by Pacific National in 2005-2006.

The XRB class were built by Pacific National at their South Dynon workshops They are mechanically similar to the XR class, but are B units without driving cabs. The class are used as booster units on standard gauge interstate freight trains. Hostlers controls are fitted for moving the locomotive about yards and depots, but on the main line they must be led by a locomotive with a conventional driving cab. All three class members are currently stored at the Port Augusta Workshops.
