History
This loco was purchased new by
Pleystowe Mill in 1916. It was bestowed the name "Habana" before it left
the USA for Australia. It went on loan to Plane Creek Mill from
1921 to 1924 to service the Carmila tramway. In 1925 it was sold to Bill
Frost in Mossman, North Queensland. Frost ran a contracting business
carting cane to the Mossman Mill. It appears it was abandoned
1930. It's later fate is unknown but was probably sold or scrapped. |
