Another of the four W class locomotives introduced in 1951 for working the ore trains from Broken Hill to Cockburn. Last ran July 1961 having travelled almost 236,000 miles. Went to the Mile End museum March 1970. Later moved to Port Adelaide railway museum.

The diesel locos that took over the running of the tramway only lasted 10 years as the narrow gauge tramway closed in 1970, when a standard gauge railway was opened all the way through to Port Pirie.
