    [Originally built in 1873 for the Canterbury Provincial Railway (NZ) to work the broad gauge Christchurch to Lytttleton Railway, it was purchased by SAR in 1878 and loaded onto the “Hyderabad” for transit to Port Adelaide, however the ship was wrecked off North Island, NZ. The locomotive was eventually salvaged and sent on to Port Adelaide entering service in 1879 with road number ‘38’ which was later changed to ‘48’. It was put to work at Morgan on the Murray River where it shunted the station yard and wharf area.]
