The line is laid on an elevated bank and a post-and-rail fence runs alongside. The engine has a number 461 painted on its side. The engine in this photograph looks very similar to that in another image from the Series; E80/61/004, manufactured by Beyer Peacock & Co. Ltd. of Manchester, England in 1891. Despite the name; Melbourne Express, this train would not have run in Victoria because the railway lines there had a different gauge to those in New South Wales. Maintenance of such engines was done at the Eveleigh Railway Workshops in Sydney, where as a result of a campaign by workers and manufacturers, Australian-made locomotives started to be produced in 1907.26013752 bytesBlack and white photograph15.2cm x 20.2cmimage/tiffen-AUThis image is provided for research purposes only and must not be reproduced without the prior permission of the Archives Program, Australian National University.Railwaystrainssteam engineslocomotivesrailway linespost-and-rail fencesNew South Wales Government Railways2004-02-25
