Kimberley Restored to operation in Carnarvon |
This photograph is provided by Stuart Jackson and shows Kimberley within the Carnarvon Heritage Precinct on 26 July 2003.
This locomotive was built by Andrew Barclay Sons & Co of Kilmarnock, Scotland (builder's no. 1755 of 1921) and worked on the Carnarvon jetty railway. The Carnarvon jetty famously extends for a mile out into the bay and was served by a significant tramway which linked the pier to the town.
On retirement, Kimberley was initially plinthed in a local kindergarten playground.
Kimberley has since been restored to operation by the Carnarvon Light Railway Association and now operates regular tourist shuttles on the jetty.
