 SAR T Class 4-8-0 

SAR T Class 78 were built between 1910 and 1917 specifically for the Broken Hill-Port Pirie ore trains where they dominated until the mid 1960s. They were regarded as one of the most successful SAR steam locos. 6 were sold to the TGR (Tasmanian Government Railways), a few were transfered to other SAR narrow gauge lines and 5 were temporarily converted to broad gauge (5ft 3in, 1600mm). The vast majority saw out their lives on the SAR Northern (Peterborough) Narrow Gauge Division. The last examples were withdrawn from service in the early 1970s.

Consumes: Coal and Water


 SAR 400 Class 4-8-2+2-8-4 

SAR 406 Class 10 of these oil fired Garratts were purchased in the 1950s specifically for the Broken Hill-Port Pirie ore trains and the Leigh Creek coal trains. Most had been withdrawn by the mid 1960s. The last was withdrawn from service in 1970.

Consumes: Bunker C Oil and Water

Bunker C Oil is available at Gladstone Depot and Peterborough (Main) Depot
