Eveleigh, crane tank locomotive

The former Eveleigh Railway Yards are part of the Australian Technology Park, in the inner city suburb of Eveleigh. The 1083 is a luffing crane tank locomotive which stands in Innovation Plaza, outside the former Locomotive Workshop.

    Looks like a great spot. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.

    Looks like it should be in a train museum. Great shot!

      Well, it forms part of a Heritage Workshop Display in the first two bays of the Locomotive Workshop so it almost is a train museum.

      Nice shot, Jim. I'm so glad that you are blogging about Eveleigh, as there are so many amazing relics left there, and not enough people know about it. I hope the ATP holds another Open Day.
      Thanks also for visiting the Eveleigh page on my blog!
