One of 4 War Department war surplus locos that BHP bought in 1919 to operate the railways at their smelter in Port Pirie. Named after World War One battles in which Australian troops fought. This worked until the 1960s. It was at first displayed in a playground in Port Pirie. Later it moved to Port Augusta Homestead Park Pioneer museum. This museum has recently closed to the public. I believe the loco is still on site and viewable through the fencing.
