Summary

Description
English: Three locomotives were built in 1855 by William Fairbairn & Sons in Manchester, UK, to be the first introduced on the South Australian Railways in 1856. They were named Victoria, Albert and Adelaide. This locomotive was photographed between 1869, when they were converted from tank engine configuration to tender configuration to increase their coal and water capacity, and 1873, when they were withdrawn. At this stage they were not numbered, so it is not possible to identify which particular locomotive is the subject of this photograph. In the background, work is being done on the walls of the locomotive shed in the Adelaide railway station yard. The locomotive is standing on rails of an early profile, later superseded – an inverted U-shaped "bridge rail" – without fishplates.
