South Australian Railways O class (second)

Steam and Early Locomotives

The South Australian Railways O class (2nd) was a single 4-4-0WT locomotive built in 1868 by Robert Stephenson and Company for the Launceston and Western Railway Company in Tasmania. It was in service for the opening of that line on 10 February 1871 and became a member of the Tasmanian Government A class in 1873. After the line was converted to 3 ft 6 in gauge in 1885 it was sold to a private company in Victoria, and in 1910 to contractors building a line in South Australia. The South Australian Railways bought it in February 1912 as No. 204, used it for shunting at Mile End and Port Adelaide, and cut it up in 1930.
