Railway Station - Parramatta, c.1910

from Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection

• Nigel Thompson said:

  This photo was probably taken at least a decade earlier than 1910. Locomotive 148 is a member of the C79 class, 20 of which were converted from tender to tank engines between 1896 and 1902 to make them more suitable for hauling suburban trains backwards, as in the photo. Also, in 1903 a more modern and powerful tank engine, the S636 class, was introduced and quickly became the standard class for suburban trains in Sydney until displaced by electric trains from the 1920s. 65 of the S class were in use by 1910.

  Correct me if i am incorrect, but the original West Maitland Railway Station, was that where High St Stations is now

C13 Class Dubs, 1883

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  In 1879 Queensland Railways took delivery of two 2-8-0 steam locos built by Baldwin in the United States. In 1883 and 1884 QR took delivery of a further six loco built to the same design but this time the builder was Dubs in the United Kingdom. These locos were originally referred to as ‘Small Consolidations’ but, along with the two Baldwin locos, were subsequently classified as the C13 class, and later still the classification was changed to C13 (Dubs) class to differentiate them from the early Baldwin locos. At the time these locos have introduced the railways north of Brisbane consisted of a number of unconnected lines reaching inland from a number of ports including Maryborough and Bundaberg and it was to these two centers that the Dubs locos were sent. These locos were originally referred to as ‘Small Consolidations’ but, along with the two Baldwin locos, were subsequently classified as the C13 class, and later still the classification was changed to C13 (Dubs) to differentiate them from the early Baldwin locos. Four of the locos went to Maryborough and two went to Bundaberg where they were assigned local numbers. Source: railwayvideos.club/queensland-railways-c13-dubs-class-ste...
