Ex-Melbourne and Hobson's Bay Railway 0-4-0 loco with mail sorting car on wharf at Outer Harbour, South Australia, 1908

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Australia's first steam locomotive, Ex-Melbourne and Hobson's Bay Railway 0-4-0, with a mail sorting car on the wharf at Outer Harbor, South Australia, in 1908. This well tank was built for the Melbourne & Hobson's Bay Railway Company. It was first set in motion on 30 May 1854. Designed by the company's chief engineer, James Moore, it was built by foundry business Robertson, Martin & Smith. Moore utilised a ballast wagon for the chassis and cylinders and related mechanisms from a pile-driver. The locomotive hauled ballast wagons and performed other work, for which it had been built, during the 15 weeks in which track was finished off. After the opening of the line on 12 September, until 1 December, it hauled regular scheduled trains during three periods when the locomotive that inaugurated the public passenger and freight services suffered major breakdowns. For more than 50 years afterwards it operated as a contractor's locomotive and shunter in Victoria and South Australia; in the latter role it shunted rail vehicles on the wharf at Outer Harbor, its previously open footplate enclosed by extremely rudimentary galvanized iron sheets. See Melbourne and Hobson's Bay Railway 1854 0-4-0WT locomotive (NRM ACY 00616).jpg.
