South Australian Railways I class (second)

The engine was built by Beyer, Peacock and Company in 1888 and imported to Victoria, Australia. It initially worked on a private railway in Victoria, and was then sent to contractors "Waring and Rawdon" in 1903 for construction work at Outer Harbor, South Australia. After its private work years it was sold to the South Australian Government by the Engineer-in-Chief's Department. It officially entered service on the South Australian Railways on 9 December 1910 as No. 161. Between 1918 and 1919 it was then classified "I" and worked until 8 April 1929, then finally scrapped on 10 May 1930.^[1]
