  I suspect that some of my grand uncles may be in this photo or then again they may have been on a different shift. They lived at Anvil Creek and Greta.

Greta Colliery

• Ian Sutton said:

  An early photograph, said to have been taken in 1890, shows a light saddle tank steam locomotive shunting at Greta Colliery "B" shaft sidings. This locomotive marshalled trains for despatch to the NSW Government Railways. This locomotive was an "0-6-0" wheeled type. (Author's note: This locomotive appears to me to have been an "Avonside" built vehicle). After Greta Colliery closed in the early 1900's, this locomotive was purchased by the Portland Cement Company Limited and transferred to their sidings.

  The locomotive 0-6-0ST is built by Fox,Walker (B/No.378/1878) for Beeston Park Colliery, Leeds, Shipped to Newcastle, NSW in 1891 , for the Greta Coal Co. Ltd. After the Greta Colliery closed down in 1898, it was overhauled in 1901 before going to the Commonwealth Portland Cement Co. at Portland, 15 miles N-W of Lithgow, NSW., becomong their No.1. It was scrapped c.1940.
