Abc Wednesdays - L for locomotives

This locomotive was the first of its class, built specifically to run on Australia's Transcontinental line between Port Augusta (in SA) and Kalgoorlie (in WA). The line which was completed in 1917, was part of a railway network that linked the east  to the west.

This particular locomotive, G1, on display at the SA Railway Museum at Port Adelaide, was used until 1945.
