Y CLASS STEAM LOCOMOTIVE

On display in the centre of town, adjacent to the rotunda, this Y Class Steam locomotive was one of the first steam locomotives operating between Silverton, Petersburg and Port Pirie hauling silver lead ore to the smelter and wharf for export. Children and the young at heart love to climb onto the loco and imagine days gone by, shoveling coal into the oven, blowing the whistle and getting soot in your eyes. All Aboard!
