  • The Commonwealth Railways NB class originated in a shipment of four 0-6-0, 1067 millimetres (3 feet 6 inches) gauge, saddle tank steam locomotives built by the Vulcan Iron Works of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. They were imported to Australia in 1916 for construction work at the naval base at Henderson, Western Australia. Their tractive effort was 9500 pounds. In 1925 two of them (builder's numbers 2532 and 2533) were acquired by the Commonwealth Railways and placed in service on the Central Australian Railway as NB29 and NB30 respectively. After shunting for two decades at Quorn, where they were nicknamed "pugs", the two locomotives were set aside. NB29 was written off in 1946 and scrapped in 1958. NB30 was written off in 1950. (en)
