3237 "Lachlan" is one of the four surviving C32 class locomotives. 3237 was built in the United Kingdom by Beyer Peacock & Co in 1892 and came into service in Australia on the 26th of February, 1893. the Loco was originally numbered P 508 but became 3237 in the NSWGR 1924 renumbering scheme. The loco worked mainline runs around NSW, while its original use was as a passenger express locomotive, it was also used for light freight. For the last part of its working career 3237 was based at Dubbo's locomotive depot, alongside 3102T now preserved in Canberra. 3237's last duties were to work reclamation trains and as a yard shunter in Dubbo. The loco was withdrawn on 1 November 1971. Its last day in steam for the NSWGR was 3 November 1971, when it was sent light engine from Dubbo to Enfield for storage. In its 78 years of revenue service, from 26 February 1892 to 1 November 1971, 3237 "Lachlan" ran a total of 3,581,150 kilometres or 2,225,224 miles.

Have travelled behind both 3237 and 3265 several times - both lovely locomotives, and both a credit to their crews and the guys and girls who maintain them. Well done!

The NSW Railways was built in 1855 from Sydney - Parramatta not 1913. The railways celebrated its 150th back in 2005.

I had the dubious "pleasure" of climbing inside the water tank of that tender and painting it with an anti corrosion sealer, when the locomotive and tender were restored at Cowra Loco.
