This locomotive operated at the Victoria Mill, Ingham where it was known as ‘Townsville’.

Townsville was donated by the Colonial Sugar Refining company (CSR) for preservation in 1977 and is now displayed in grey primer within the exhibit hall at the Australian Sugar Heritage Centre, Mourilyan. This museum is well worth a visit with a variety of exhibits and resources highlighting the technical, social and economic history of the Australian Sugar Industry and its contribution to regional development.
