Built by Aveling Porter as a traction engine in 1880. Worked hauling logs to the Buckingham saw mill east of Perth until sold. Two of his sons started a saw mill 11 miles east of Collie. They repurchased Polly. In 1912 they converted her to a railway locomotive. She also had a winch fitted at the back of loco. She hauled timber to the mill, over an ever expanding felling area. Finally her water supply was too small for the long journeys.

She then became a stationary winch at a bush landing. Withdrawn in 1953. She now stands outside the Visitor Centre in Collie.
