- Background
- This was one of 3 locomotive purchased from John Fowler & Company, Leeds, by the Queensland Government for use on the Innisfail Tramway, 30 miles of 2’ 0" gauge owned and operated by the QGR in the Innisfail district.
- These were the last three steam locos purchased by the QGR for that tramway; being classed 6B9 and a half. They, along with other locos were used to haul cane to the South Johnstone and Mourilyan Mills and thence raw sugar to Mourilyan Harbour.
- No. 11 entered service on 13th May 1927 and was condemned on 5th June 1963. The Tramway was dieselised in 1962 and No. 11, the last steam locomotive used on the line, was placed in Fitzgerald Park, Innisfail.
- It gradually deteriorated until it became obvious that it was a candidate for scrapping. The Johnstone Shire Council, mindful of the historical significance of this locomotive to the Innisfail district donated the locomotive to ANGRMS in 1976. It was moved to our Woodford site in 1979.
