N.Z.R 'Ba 554'


photo: collection late Cyril Evans

Ba554 was built at Addington in 1913, here it is at Dunedin on 2/3/64. After 20 years or so of mainline freight use it was converted for shunting duties, with a tender cab, etc. These locos had a small boiler and narrow firebox,- and on 3`6" gauge a narrow firebox is truly narrow!
