"When the locomotive was running Society members were able to take on small 
jobs, and did running repairs are required, one of the last jobs we did was 
to replace a small tube, owing to a leak in the fore box, this repair 
enabled us to take her out on what was to be her last run, which was on the 
14th of October 1994, to the opening of a new HI mine at a place called 
Marinade, we wanted here out there that day as a lot of VIP's were 
attending the opening, so we tried to get here some exposure, but it was 
obviously to no avail!"

Hoping this helps,

Bill

Does anyone know when Hamersley Iron's British steam loco, 4079 Pendennis
Castle, last operated in WA?
The loco was delivered to WA from the UK via Sydney (and Newcastle) in mid
1977.

Derek
